If you are interested in whitening your teeth with little hassle at low cost, then using peroxide mixed with baking soda is something that would work well for you. It is a method that is tried and tested, and when used consistently, will keep your teeth looking white.
Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients
Hydrogen Peroxide
This is something that you can purchase at any drug store. You’ll usually find it in concentrations of up to 3%.
Here is how it works: When you put this compound onto your teeth, a reaction occurs. The peroxide immediately turns into water and oxygen. During this period it’ll begin to foam. The foaming has two main accomplishments. First is to eliminate the film that is growing on your teeth. Second is to eliminate bacteria that have been living on your teeth. Then, after you brush your teeth, the toothpaste that you use will be more effective.
Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
There are several benefits to using this compound. It is somewhat abrasive. This basically means that it will scrub your teeth, but it won’t have any long term effects on your teeth. It will also eliminate any micro-organisms that have been living in your mouth and gums. Lastly, it eliminates specific acids that lead to issues such as plaque.
Combining both compounds
Get a Dixie cup to begin with. Put some hydrogen peroxide into it, only a few drops. Then put no more than a tablespoon of baking soda into it. Mix it until it becomes paste-like then use it to brush your teeth. Once you have finished brushing your teeth, rinse your mouth out with water and/or mouthwash. Then brush your teeth again, using your regular toothpaste.
Conclusion
Using this method, you can keep your teeth whiter for significantly less, when compared to other whitening treatments.
