Methods for teeth whitening with activated carbon and strawberries

Dentists recommend teeth whitening with strawberries only for patients with healthy enamel. Before trying folk recipes to give your smile a Hollywood sparkle, you should cure all existing oral diseases. The method of cleansing the surface of teeth with berries is not only effective, but also useful. This article will describe in detail how you can whiten your teeth with strawberries, and in what cases this should be done with extreme caution.

Benefits of the whitening method

1. The procedure does not require the help of a specialist. Whitening can be done independently at home, using available products.
2. The whitening product contains exclusively natural ingredients (the use of chemicals is excluded). There is no possibility of an overdose of components.
3. It is a fairly budget-friendly product that does not require extra financial costs (on the contrary, professional whitening is a rather expensive procedure).
4. The effectiveness of the method is noticeable after the second procedure. The effectiveness of strawberries will be primarily noticed by smokers and people who regularly drink coffee or black tea.
5. No hypersensitivity.
6. Minimal time investment. To perform the whitening procedure, you need no more than fifteen minutes (in general, you will need no more time spent than for standard teeth cleaning).
7. Strawberry whitening is a fairly simple procedure that does not require additional dental knowledge or recommendations.

Attention! Before you start creating a snow-white smile yourself, you need to diagnose the condition of the enamel. This precaution is explained by the fact that only people with healthy teeth and excellent enamel are allowed to carry out acid treatment. If the dentist confirms the presence of any ailments, carious lesions or cracks in the enamel, then the whitening procedure is contraindicated.

Cautions

A detailed examination of dental elements by a specialist will help to create a complete picture of the condition of the enamel coating. If there are cracks or other damage, the patient experiences severe discomfort when exposed to hot and cold food and drinks. If the enamel is severely damaged, a person will experience acute pain even when air and dental elements interact. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the enamel coating to maintain dental health. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the factors that contribute to the destruction of enamel:

• mechanical damage (chips, cracks);
• carious lesion;
• frequent acid exposure (regular bleaching with acids, drinking citrus juices);
• insufficient amount of calcium in the body;
• excessive consumption of solid foods (nuts, seeds).

People with thin tooth enamel should not whiten their teeth with strawberries.

Reference! The effective composition of strawberries can get rid of the resulting darkening on the surface of the enamel. However, those with thin enamel should not use this method.

Soft lip peeling with strawberries

This peel helps relieve dryness (for example, if you've been too much in the sun) and it also helps prepare your lips for applying bright lipstick (great for preparing for a summer party):

• 1 strawberry
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sugar

In a cup, mash the strawberries until pureed, drain the juice, add butter and sugar, and mash everything until smooth. Using your finger, apply the mixture to your lips and massage gently in circular motions. The acid in strawberries will very gently remove dry skin, and the remains of the scrub can also be used for the face.

Rinse off the scrub with warm water, pat your lips dry with a towel, and apply treatment (a moisturizing lip balm that you can make yourself).

Recommendations for using the method

Without visiting a dentist and getting a general picture of the condition of your teeth, you should not use strawberries as a whitening agent. If the enamel coating is weak or damaged, increased sensitivity of the dental elements may occur. Therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant consequences, you must adhere to simple rules:

1. The home whitening procedure should be carried out no more than once a month. Strawberry whitening is not used for prophylactic purposes.
2. Before starting the manipulation, it is necessary to carry out thorough oral hygiene, otherwise the effect will not be noticeable.
3. If there are diseases of the oral cavity, then strawberry whitening is not used.
4. If there are a large number of fillings installed, the result of bleaching will be minimal.

Before whitening with strawberries, you must brush your teeth thoroughly

Recommendation! After the whitening procedure, it is forbidden to drink juices (due to the acid content), any coloring drinks (tea, cola, coffee) and smoke for three to four hours. It is preferable to carry out the manipulation before bedtime.

teeth whitening with strawberries and soda

The question is not an idle one, nowadays hundreds of toothpastes promise us a Hollywood smile in 5 minutes!

But you buy this vaunted (and expensive!) toothpaste... and the result is zero... and what’s remarkable is that each toothpaste is, as it were, “highly specialized”! For whitening, buy this one, for treatment, buy another, and for tartar, buy a third! And so on... and why should I brush my teeth with all three toothpastes in turn in the morning?! Anyway…. They just don’t help me anymore! Now the time has come to think about how and with what you can either replace them or improve them!

Well, I was puzzled by this question and through trial and error I made a good remedy for my teeth! This is what I hasten to share with all those who suffer and wish!

Dentistry is not a cheap pleasure, and not only in terms of money: for a modern city dweller, as a rule, it is quite difficult to combine her busy schedule with visits to the dentist. It’s one thing if we are talking about a mandatory preventive examination every six months or, even more so, solving specific problems, but there is often simply not enough time for regular aesthetic procedures.

Here
are 7 home teeth whitening recipes to get a radiant smile with all-round benefits for yourself. Still, let’s use folk remedies again!
The experience and wisdom of grandparents' tried-and-true recipes! The first two methods that I tested, how I myself treated and restored the whiteness of my teeth !

So: Recipe for teeth whitening and treatment according to Neumyvakin.

It helps with almost any gum disease, and at the same time almost instantly whitens teeth, dissolves tartar, and heals small wounds in the mouth.

from periodontal disease, inflammation of the gums, from blackness at the roots of the teeth, from tartar and any painful condition in the mouth, as well as from bad breath

You need to make a simple paste: 0.5 tsp. baking soda, add 10-20 drops of hydrogen peroxide (pharmacy) and a few drops of lemon. The pasta is ready!

How to use:

Dip a cotton swab into the paste and rub the teeth and gums outside and inside with this paste. Lemon neutralizes soda and gives freshness, soda cleans teeth from plaque, and peroxide disinfects and whitens .

After such cleaning, I feel like a queen :
my teeth are so clean that they shine like pearls, and the light scent of lemon gives me a joyful mood.

• You can rinse your mouth prophylactically with a solution of hydrogen peroxide:
• 1-3 tsp. peroxide in 50 ml of warm water for all painful conditions in the mouth.
• But it's not tasty!
• But this is very useful... then the teeth whitening effect is fixed, and they remain white, even if you no longer brush them with a cotton swab . But to consolidate the whitening effect, this must be done REGULARLY !

Also, for those who decide to brush their teeth with Neumyvakin-style toothpaste, I advise you to remember -

• After brushing your teeth, do not rinse with anything for 15 minutes, do not eat or drink anything . I wipe off the soda remaining on my teeth with a cotton swab, wipe my tongue with a dry cotton swab, and then “collect” everything with saliva and spit it out. Externally, I wash off my lips and around them with water. That's probably all.

Magic toothpaste, homemade!
I must say that it was the teeth themselves that made me think about teeth! We got sick and began to experience pulpitis, my cheek was bruised, the pain was terrible , and plus there was an example of a friend who had the same thing and it all ended with surgery and a scar under her cheek …. So I had to act! And act quickly! I really didn’t want a scar ... We had to save what was left!

My teeth were already quite yellow, and the permanent plaque could not be removed by any of the coolest and most expensive toothpastes ! Also, tartar was everywhere, and nothing could be done to remove it! There was blackness at the base of the teeth... which also could not be cleaned off with anything! I am one of the heavy smokers and coffee drinkers, so you yourself understand what accumulates in my mouth over the years.....

To begin with, I began to treat my teeth according to Neumyvakin’s prescription.

I brushed my teeth manually, with cotton wool, for 3 days in a row (a tedious task, I tell you...), but the effect! The effect was almost instant and dazzling! I even forgot that I once had such white teeth ! And indeed, the teeth shone, shone, and whitened! Only I poured more peroxide, precisely so that the soda would dissolve and not be dry, and clean with an almost liquid consistency. The first days there was an explosion of peroxide in my mouth... This means there were so many wounds, and a peroxide reaction occurred. But after a few days, it stopped! This means the wounds have healed and healed !

In general, I brushed my teeth this way for about 3 weeks, not every day, but once every 3-4 days, because... it's very tiring... The teeth whitened and, as I wrote, they shone, the stones dissolved, they simply disappeared ! But then they told me that it was better not to add acid , because... it destroys the enamel, and I didn’t feel any aroma from it, so I excluded the acid from the recipe.

Well, as you know, laziness is the engine of progress!
Therefore, I decided to somehow make this procedure easier... And I began to conjure my own recipe - treatment - whitening - maintaining my remaining teeth ..... And this is what happened, I needed:

• Hydrogen peroxide
• Baking soda
• Coarse salt
• Propolis tincture
• Dentifrice
• Toothpaste

Well, let's start doing magic!

• Take of toothpaste , squeeze it not onto the brush, but into a glass ,
• sprinkle a good handful of coarse salt (I tried fine salt, it tasted salty in my mouth, but it didn’t do any good),
• add a little soda , because soda really does have the property of erasing enamel, so I decided to greatly reduce the amount of it, adding not a lot of it to this composition, just a small pinch.
• Then I add tooth powder , it doesn’t clean well on its own, but it helps very well in this recipe. The main thing is that thanks to him, this entire composition remains thick enough, otherwise everything will spread!
• Then, without regret, I add hydrogen peroxide , well, you need to make sure that the composition is not very thick and not liquid.
• Well, I drip a few drops of propolis . It is highly advisable to add propolis! It is very useful for teeth and for any wounds and other sores of the oral cavity.

That's it, the magic toothpaste is ready!
Mix everything with a brush and start brushing your teeth! After such cleaning, plaque does not appear on the teeth for several days, the smell from the mouth disappears, new microbes do not form in the mouth and all sorts of other bad things! I'm not exaggerating, it's true!

The only negative compared to Neumyvakin’s recipe is that there is not such a strong shine to the teeth... well, something has to be sacrificed, but I still sometimes use that recipe too, in order to maintain the shine of my teeth, or if I urgently need to amaze someone with my dazzling smile ! But this is still done less often, so sometimes you can overcome laziness and brush your teeth manually, with a cotton swab ...

Well, below is a photo of what it all looks like, the entire process of preparing “Magic Toothpaste” for treating and whitening teeth, in one bottle!

The photo is of poor quality... but still everything is visible and understandable!

Well, that’s all... try it, I think you won’t like the taste very much at first.... but the effect will please you ! And then you get used to the taste, because medicine is not always tasty! But if you have problems and want to get rid of them , then you will have to take a different treatment, although I am very glad that this recipe does not contain fish oil, for example, otherwise I would hardly be able to brush my teeth with it, even for the sake of beauty!
So there are some advantages! Here are a few more ways in which you can perfectly whiten your teeth yourself :
1. Using special toothpaste. It is prepared as follows:

take salt, water and calcium tablet. Mix the tablet with salt, then add a little water until you get a homogeneous, thick mass.

2. Brush your teeth with tooth powder, which is sold only in pharmacies. You can add a little lemon essential oil to the powder to add aroma.

3. Using regular activated carbon. Take an activated carbon tablet, grind it and apply it to your toothbrush.

4. You can use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Using this method, you need to brush your teeth very carefully, since the ingestion of either soda or peroxide can, in addition to damaging the enamel, have an extremely negative impact on your gums.

5. Folk way. Since ancient times, our ancestors whitened their teeth using strawberries and wild strawberries. Simply apply the crushed berries either to toothpaste or to your teeth. The whitening effect occurs due to plant acids contained in these berries.

6. For toothache and pulpitis - rinse your mouth with calamus root and propolis. Just make a decoction , pour 30-50 grams into a glass and add a few drops of propolis tincture . An excellent remedy for toothache ! Helps instantly! 2-3 rinses are enough to remove almost any toothache!

7. Special teeth whitening system.
It is best to buy such systems in dental clinics, where they will be made to order for you. This system is called "kappa". After the impression is made, you will be given a fitting a few days later. A high-quality mouthguard fits tightly to the teeth; it only leaves a small space for a special whitening gel. The mouthguard should also not touch your gums. The whitening gel is applied to the surface of the tray adjacent to the desired side of the teeth, in most cases this is the front surface, because it is noticeable when you smile. It is advisable to wear a mouthguard at night, so you will not have difficulty speaking, and the desired result will come faster. Treat your teeth and don't get sick! And I wish you all dazzling Hollywood smiles! What they write about teeth whitening on the Internet! Soda, toothpaste, pencil...

• Those who want to maintain or restore snow-white teeth often turn to folk wisdom, which recommends many different methods: from brushing your teeth with a mixture of coarse table salt and soda to biting a slice of lemon . The undoubted advantage of these proposals is that you can try them on yourself almost at the same moment that the idea of ​​teeth whitening comes to mind. Disadvantages - low efficiency and questionable usefulness, for example, cleaning with soda, which violates the integrity of tooth enamel .

• Hygienic whitening toothpastes tend to be little more effective: they contain either a tiny dose of chemical whitening agents or abrasives. Although it is recommended to use whitening pastes for no more than one month in a row with a mandatory three-month break , they only remove soft plaque and polish the enamel, optically improving the appearance of teeth . The color of the enamel itself, if it has changed due to surface staining, remains the same.
• A number of toothpastes (sometimes called semi-professional) contain natural enzymes that decompose the protein component of plaque, as well as peroxide. These low-abrasive pastes, recommended for smokers and coffee lovers , with regular use actually help maintain the enamel quite light, but do not cause dramatic improvements, and, in addition, are not cheap.

Compact do-it-yourself teeth whitening products include whitening pens, glosses and strips.

• These products typically contain dental grade hydrogen peroxide solution, natural oils and polishing compounds. They are recommended to be used once or twice a day for 10-14 days to get the effect, but it is often less noticeable than expected.
• Whitening glosses instantly (but not for long) make the smile more attractive by adding gloss to the enamel , so they can be compared to a cosmetic product and used from time to time - for example, on special occasions.

And brush your teeth with simple folk and home remedies! At least you'll know what it's all made of!
