You’re Paying Too Much To Whiten Your Teeth

White teeth have quickly become the beauty standard for most Americans in this day and age. Perfect teeth are shown everywhere across television, movies, and other media, making people feel like they have to be able to match up with the models and movie stars of our generation. Consequently, people are constantly practicing different methods of whitening their teeth. People are even avoiding things that will lead to more tooth stains. Ever since smoking cigarettes has become less popular, there was hope for the teeth of America.

However, there are still lots of things that can lead to stained teeth that are not as bad for you or as dangerous as smoking. A big one for me is coffee - I absolutely love coffee and drink it at least once a day. I wouldn’t quite say that I have an addiction to coffee, because I could definitely stop if I needed too. However, I would be really sad about it and definitely miss it. Perhaps I would get a few headaches for the first week or two without coffee, but my body would recover I’m sure.

Anyways, since I started drinking coffee so regularly, I was interested in different methods of whitening my teeth. I personally think having white teeth is a very attractive physical trait, so I want to make sure I’m doing my best to keep my pearly whites looking flashy while I indulge myself in my coffee habit. The hard thing about looking for ways to whiten your teeth is that most products you can find in stores are so expensive. Seriously, teeth whitening products can be so pricey.

Whether it’s some sort of whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, or teeth whitening mouthwash or other treatments, you can find yourself paying upwards of 50 or 60 dollars by the time you’re done. That should be a crime! So I spent some time researching different means of whitening your teeth that fall under the umbrella of home remedies. So if you have been looking for ways to whiten your teeth recently but don’t want to pay a hefty price just for some stupid whitening strips, then I have some good suggestions for you.

The method I use mostly comes from the brilliant discovery of hydrogen peroxide. If you don’t know what hydrogen peroxide is, I can’t really tell you much about it besides that it is really cheap and comes in a weird looking plastic bottle. Hydrogen peroxide works great to whiten teeth, and that is backed by scientific evidence! In fact, if you look at the active ingredients in any name brand teeth whitening product, you’ll most likely find hydrogen peroxide to be present.

So rather than pay way too much, just buy a cheap bottle of hydrogen peroxide from the store for a cheap and easy way to whiten your teeth at home. You can either swish hydrogen peroxide around in your mouth with some water like you would regular mouthwash, or you can mix it with baking soda to create a paste with which you can brush your teeth to whiten. Hydrogen peroxide will surely whiten your teeth overtime, and you’ll worry less about people making fun of you behind your back or not accepting you into their social circle because your teeth aren’t white enough or something like that.
