I just heard a man discussing that he wants to spend $600 on getting his teeth whitened! Oh no no NO! Spending that kind of money is completely unnecessary and totally harmful to the body.
Do you know the ingredients in chemical bleach teeth whitening?! I am talking about whitening strips, or bleaching from when you go to the dentist and get it done. It seems so crazy to me to spend that money plus put those chemicals in the body when there is a COMPLETELY NATURAL SOLUTION that costs less than $3! It is BAKING SODA! And baking soda is actually one of the ingredients found in chemical whitening, so why not eliminate the other ingredients and just use baking soda?! I wonder why so many people still use chemical teeth whitening and I assume it is because they don't know of baking soda as an alternative!
Baking soda costs less than $3 at the supermarket or drug store. When purchasing make sure the only ingredient is 'baking soda' and no other ingredient. Sometimes they can put aluminum in it which is no good.
To get white teeth do this:
After brushing your teeth (hopefully with a natural and organic chemical-free toothpaste), dip your brush into baking soda so half a teaspoon is heaped on your tooth brush. Then put it in your mouth and start buffing your teeth in circles like a car wash. This polishes your teeth. Do this every day for at least 2 weeks until you notice that your teeth are whiter. If your teeth and gums start to ache because the baking soda may be abrasive, take a few days off and then start again.
I use baking soda periodically throughout each year. I will use it for a couple weeks then take a couple weeks off. You can also use it every other day for another variation. I always have white teeth and people are always commenting on them. I always tell people it costs less than a few dollars, and we don't need to put our bodies through intense bleaching and chemicals with whiteners. Sorry dentists this kind of blog may result in less business for teeth whitening for you, but at least people are having better health because of it!
Whats in regular teeth whitening strips or bleaching when you go to the dentist?
Peroxide
Carbamide Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide
Calprox (which includes baking soda and 16 other ingredients)
Hydrated Silica
Polyvinylpyreolidone (PVP)
Potassium Nitrate
Baking Soda
Sodium Monoflurophosphate (fluoride)
Sodium Tripolyphosphate
Strontium Chloride
Why put all of those chemicals into our bodies if we don't need to???!!! Do some research on these chemicals if you want to know more about them. Look at how they are made and what they can do to the body. Let's just look at one of the ingredients in teeth whitening; floruide, this alone has proven to be suspect and many articles have been written on it. Check out Natural News article here: how to protect your family from it. http://www.naturalnews.com/040461_fluoride_IAOMT_oral_medicine.html
Where does baking soda come from? (From wikipedia)
The ancient Egyptians used natural deposits of natron, a mixture consisting mostly ofsodium carbonate decahydrate, and sodium bicarbonate. The natron was used as a cleansing agent like soap.
It has weak disinfectant properties.
Sodium bicarbonate, referred to as "baking soda" is primarily used in cooking (baking), as a leavening agent. It reacts with acidic components in batters, releasing carbon dioxide, which causes expansion of the batter and forms the characteristic texture and grain in pancakes, cakes, quick breads, soda bread, and other baked and fried foods.
Medical uses.
Sodium bicarbonate mixed with water can be used as an antacid to treat acid indigestion and heartburn.[19] It is used as the medicinal ingredient in gripe water for infants.
Personal hygiene[edit]
Toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate has in several studies shown to have a better whitening[29][29][30][31] and plaque removal effect[32][33] than toothpastes without it.
Sodium bicarbonate is also used as an ingredient in some mouthwashes. It has anti-caries and abrasive properties.[34] It works as a mechanical cleanser on the teeth and gums, neutralizes the production of acid in the mouth and also acts as an antiseptic to help prevent infections.[citation needed]
Sodium bicarbonate in combination with other ingredients can be used to make a dry or wet deodorant.[35][36] It may also be used as a shampoo.[37]
Sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty, alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral form is nahcolite. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs. It is among the food additives encoded by European Union, identified by the initials E 500. Since it has long been known and is widely used, the salt has many related names such as baking soda,bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda. In colloquial usage, its name is shortened to sodium bicarb, bicarb soda, or simply bicarb. This blog came about as I am at the airport in South Carolina and was walking by a store that was playing The Suze Orman Show on CNBC. Suze Orman is a financial expert who went from rags to riches, and now gives advice through her show to others to help us build strong financial foundations. On her show people call up and ask if they can afford something they want based on their current finances. A man was asking her if he had enough money to spend $600 on teeth whitening! I thought oh boy, Suze nor this man know about the most natural, harmless, affordable and yet effective product available to us: BAKING SODA!
Enjoy it! And remember earth provides us with a natural alternative for everything!
