What are the best inexpensive ways to whiten teeth safely? I’m looking for affordable methods to whiten teeth at home without causing damage to enamel or irritating gums.

Many over-the-counter products claim great results, but some contain harsh chemicals that could lead to sensitivity or enamel erosion.

Are there any proven natural remedies or DIY techniques that are effective and gentle on teeth?

I’d love to hear any tips, experiences, or product recommendations from others who have tried safe, budget-friendly whitening solutions.

Brush with baking soda, peroxide as mouthwash. Only a lil peroxide though cuz it foams in your mouth, lean over the sink the first time you do it so you don’t make a mess.

I had to tilt my head up and open my mouth every few seconds until it calmed down then gently swish with it.

I don’t eat or drink anything for at least 10min, first thing is always water

If you oil pull, you’re supposed to do it first thing in the morning for at least 15 minutes.

Also, do not spit it in your drains.

Retired dental hygienist here. This oil pulling sounds gross. So is it just swishing with oil?

With a fancy name “oil pulling” almost fell out of my chair! Come on! Yuck.

I highly doubt it whitens your teeth. Try the Crest white strips.

Make a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Not much, about 2 TBS of each.

Brush GENTLY! Gently for 2 minutes, twice a day.

You should see a difference in a couple days.

one time I let the dentist literally sandblast my teeth, after that unpleasant experience I simply decided that if my teeth were ever brown again it is okay to leave them like that.

Oil pulling
Put a 1/2 -1 teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth and swish it through your teeth for as long as you can.

The directions say 20 minutes, but I can only do about 10.

Be sure to spur I. The trash not your sink as it will clog your drains.

You don’t because teeth naturally stain throughout life and believing they need to be white is just a marketing gimic to get you to spend more money and look, it worked

Oil pulling with olive oil or coconut oil I brush with baking soda and coconut oil

Soak toothbrush in peroxide between uses. Don’t rinse tb prior putting on toothpaste.

Brush normally. Rinse toothbrush. Put it back in peroxide.

A very tiny amount of baking soda in warm water.

Never directly to the toothe brush, just diluted in some water!

Make a little paste of coconut oil and baking soda. Use it a couple days then off for a couple days. Baking soda can be too harsh for everyday.

Also, I’ve sometimes add eggshell powder.

You can easily make it yourself by rinsing, boiling, then baking egg shells, and grinding in a blender.

This is calcium gold and also with help get gunk or plaque off your teeth and whiten them.

But just like the baking soda, don’t use it everyday.

[Maria]

Oil pulling. I do coconut oil 20 mins everyday. Swish it through your teeth as long as you can.

Whitens teeth and it’s great for gums.
