Teeth Whitening: Four Natural Ways to Do It • Oil Pulling  This is one of the traditional Indian methods of maintaining oral hygiene. All you have to do is take some oil and swish it in your mouth. • Baking Soda  The versatile baking soda can be used for whitening teeth naturally. Baking soda has the ability to scrub away any stains on the teeth. It instigates an alkaline milieu in the mouth that prevents the bacteria from growing and causing not just a foul smell but also prevents yellowing of the teeth. • Apple Cider Vinegar  Apple cider vinegar is widely used as a disinfectant and cleaner. It has the tendency to kill the bacteria and cleanse your mouth. Whitening the teeth is just an added bonus. Apple cider vinegar has a bleaching effect but it can also soften the teeth which can be dangerous for your oral wellbeing. • Strawberries and Baking Soda  Strawberries, when combined with baking soda, can be a natural teeth whitener. The malic acid in the strawberries, contribute in removing the discolouration on the teeth and the baking soda serves in removing the stains.
