Its been a long evening. You're sitting on a bar stool alone, waiting for something, anything.
Life has been troublesome lately and all you are looking for is a friendly smile tonight. Your eyes scan the room and you see a quiet, handsome gentleman sitting alone. You make your way across the smoky room and introduce yourself to him. He gives you a hello and a smile in return. The only problem? His teeth have a yellow film over them. It seemed he'd been drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes for several years in a row.

Is that the kind of impression you want to make on someone?
A healthy white smile can be a beautiful feature and can put some confidence in your step.

Try these easy tricks at home.

Brush your teeth with baking soda.
Brush your teeth just like you always would. After words, coat the wet brush with baking soda.
Brush your teeth for a second time with the baking soda, scrubbing all sides of the teeth.
Do this daily or after every meal to improve whiteness.
You can also try this with hydrogen peroxide.
Or, if you'd like, you can mix both peroxide and baking soda together for a whiter affect.

Other easy ways to keep your teeth healthy and strong are doing things like eating lots of fruits, like apples. When you eat apples they clean your teeth naturally.
It also helps to drink tap water, its full of fluorides.
Of course, any water you drink will also rinse your mouth too.
Everyone knows milk makes for strong teeth and bones as well.
One more thing that would definitely help with stained teeth, is to not drink or smoke, this will prevent most yellowing.
Happy Brushing!
