Whitening Your Teeth Using Lemon




Are you tired of concealing your teeth when chatting with friends or when taking photos? It’s pretty obvious that everyone fancy for shining white teeth for an incredible smile. Therefore, put your worries aside because I got you covered. After following the steps am about to give you then be sure the embarrassing yellow appearance of your teeth will be no more.

To begin with, the teeth are covered with enamel which is a coating that gives them the white color. Therefore, when the enamel gets stripped or stained, a yellow layer forms below it. In this case, the most common causes of the formation of the yellow layer include unhealthy food routine, certain illnesses, medications, and poor oral hygiene. In addition, chewing and smoking tobacco causes stripping of the enamel layer resulting in the formation of the yellow layer on the teeth.

That was serious right? Don’t worry too much because you can use fresh lemon juice as a natural remedy to make your teeth sparkling white.

How lemon juice can assist you to whiten your teeth

Vitamin C- Lemon provides Vitamin C which plays a major role in whitening the teeth. In this case, it acts like a bleaching agent which clears the yellow teeth discoloration.
Citric acid- Lemon contains citric acid which arouses the production of saliva that cleanses the mouth.
Anti-bacterial and acid properties- These properties of the lemon juice facilitate in killing mouth bacteria, preventing a number of oral diseases and above all gives brighter teeth.
Natural sweet scent- Lemons contains a natural sweet scent that freshen the mouth.

 Using lemon Juice to whiten your teeth 

  • Mix a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice with a tablespoon of water.
  • Brush your teeth thoroughly using this mixture for a minute.
  •  Rinse with warm water and brush the teeth again using your usual toothpaste.
  • Repeat this three times a week for better results.
Better still
  •   Apply the mixture on the teeth using your fingers.
  •   Rinse your mouth after 5-10 minutes with clean water.
  •  Repeat this three times a week for better results.
Using Lemon Peel

  • Peel a fresh lemon and apply the peel on your teeth.
  • Rub the peal all over the mouth for 1-2 minutes then rinse with clean water.
  • Repeat this three times a week for better results
It is recommended that you don’t use lemon too frequently since its acidic properties can damage the enamel and lower the calcium levels. However, using the lemon juice or peel two to three times a week will not cause any damage. As well, take drinks which cause stains such as blueberries, tea, coffee (especially the black coffee), soda, tomato sauce, popsicles and soy sauce among others with a straw. I know it sounds funny but the straws help to avoid stains as there is minimal contact between the teeth and such drinks. Lastly, as the doctor says don’t chew or smoke tobacco. Good luck with your smile!
