Strawberries contain malic acid, which is great for removing stains on your teeth.

You Will Need

* 1 ripe strawberry

* 1/2 tsp. baking soda

* A soft toothbrush

* Dental floss

* Mouthwash

* Hydrogen peroxide

Step 1

Mash the strawberry with a fork and mix it with the baking soda. The baking soda buffs away stains from coffee, tea, and blueberries that penetrate your enamel over time.

Step 2

Using a soft toothbrush, apply the mixture to the teeth you want to whiten.

Step 3

Let the mixture set for five minutes.

Step 4

Brush your teeth with toothpaste as usual. Floss to get out any seeds from the strawberry.

Rinsing with a little hydrogen peroxide mixed with water after brushing kills bacteria and whitens teeth.

Step 5

Rinse your mouth with mouthwash to wash away residual acid. Your teeth will be gleaming and stain-free.

Fact: In the Middle Ages barbers also practiced dentistry.
