You’ve probably tried it all from whitening strips, pens and dentist visits, but what you may not realize is that just a few small changes to your daily routine can make a world of difference when it comes to your pearly whites.

Best way to whiten teeth

If you want to keep your teeth in tip-top shape without chemicals and laser treatments, try these tips:

Food

The right diet can fix a lot of things, and keeping your teeth clean is just an added plus. Chewing foods with a lot of fiber like apples, celery and carrots will help keep your teeth white because they help remove stains. Think of them as an exfoliator for your mouth.

Who knew something as simple as a straw could play such a big role in keeping your teeth white! Drinking through a straw keeps particles from

touching your teeth, keeping them residue-free and clean!

Antioxidants 

A toothpaste like Glo Whitening Antioxidant Superberry Toothpaste is great because it offers gum-benefiting antioxidants and ditches harmful chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate.

Baking Soda

Try making your own whitening toothpaste. Sprinkle baking soda onto your brush and add your toothpaste on top.

Brush your teeth, focusing on your molars. Let it sit for two minutes and then rinse with water.

Although baking soda is gentle, it can wear down the enamel on your teeth over time.

Only use this technique for a week and then go back to your regular brushing technique.
