You will need:
- 2 slices of kiwi
- 2 slices of cucumber
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 2 drops of lemon juice (a few more drops will be fine too)
- A mini blender
- A small bowl
- Your toothbrush
Here's how to proceed:
- Put the kiwi and cucumber slices in the blender;
- Add the lemon juice;
- Use the blender to reduce everything to a liquidy mush;
- Pour into the small bowl;
- Add the two teaspoons of baking soda and mix well;
- Dip in your toothbrush and scrub your teeth.
This is a procedure that this TikTokker recommends to do twice a week - a very simple and fast process. And it tastes great too!
With a DIY recipe like this you shouldn't expect to get a dazzling smile in a few days, but you will certainly notice an appreciable difference. It is a concoction capable of removing stains from teeth, whitening them gradually in a natural way. This is due to the light abrasive action of the bicarbonate (which is contained in many oral hygiene products) and the fruit acids contained in the kiwi and cucumber, which together dissolve away superficial stains.
It is also a very delicate method and is therefore not harmful. Notwithstanding this, it is a method which should not be used every day, otherwise there is a risk of eroding your tooth enamel. If you want to start using this cleansing method, you can do it once a day for up to 10 days, and then a couple of times a month therafter, at the most.
