Black coffee, tea, smoking, soda and wine--all can stain our teeth. Fortunately, you can whiten your fabulous smile in the comfort of your own home. Here are a few recipes to get you started.

Things You’ll Need:

• Baking soda
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Toothbrush
• Baking Soda
• Table salt
• Toothbrush
• Bay leaves
• Dried orange peel

Instructions

Recipe One

Step1

Buy some baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for this particular tooth whitening recipe.

Step2

Take one teaspoon of baking soda and a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide. Be careful to only use a small amount of the peroxide.

Step3

Mix the baking soda with the hydrogen peroxide and use as you would toothpaste.

Recipe Two

Step1

Use the baking soda from the recipe in Section 1. Instead of hydrogen peroxide, you will need table salt for this recipe.

Step2

Measure three teaspoons of baking soda and one teaspoon of table salt.

Step3

Stir the baking soda and salt together and use on a toothbrush as you would regular toothpaste. In this recipe, the salt is the abrasive, while the baking soda is the cleanser and whitener.

Recipe Three

Step1

Gather some bay leaves and some orange peels. The bay leaves should be powdered and dry for this recipe. Let the orange peel dry out as well--vitamin C is not great for your teeth.

Step2

Bunch the bay leaves and the dried peel so they are lined up together.

Step3

Rub gently on your teeth, making sure to expose your chompers to both the bay leaves and the orange peel. The combination of the two makes for a great tooth whitening recipe.
