Natural Teeth Whitening Goes Green

Defined Tag: Natural Teeth Whitening.

The latest trend to hit the cosmetic and beauty world is teeth whitening. Over a relatively small amount of time, the trend has almost acquired a “change of lifestyle” status. More and more people want whiter teeth. It is no longer a desire – it’s an imperative. The most obvious option is to have the procedure professionally done, at a dentist’s practice. But, given the other lifestyle evolution of the era, namely the need to go green, more and more people are turning to natural teeth whitening.

Many believe there is nothing natural about the whitening process when done at a dentist’s. The procedure is a rather complex one, lengthy, and costly. It uses carbamide peroxide, a caustic chemical, which when it gets in touch with teeth, breaks down to release oxygen which enters the tooth structure to eradicate stains. Home teeth whitening kits also use the same procedure. Despite giving spectacular results, with teeth remaining white for a number of years, many balk away from this ‘unnatural’ process.

Natural teeth whitening thus ensures itself a rather powerful presence on the market. And in many cases, there is no need to even spend more on the procedure, since kitchen staples can be used.

The most used option in the natural arsenal of whitening is, most of the time, whitening toothpastes. These make use of abrasive formulations in many cases, which polish off the tooth surface to provide a brighter appearance. Ingredient like silica and chalk (calcium carbonate) are often also present in these pastes to polish off stains. Whitening chewing gum -- another popular recourse against stained teeth -- uses pretty much the same process. Additionally, it helps to prevent plaque build-up.

Home ingredients used for whitening teeth include brushing teeth with baking soda sprinkled on the toothbrush. Salt too is often used. Ingredients like walnut bark and orange peel also clean your teeth’s surface. In many cases, strawberries are also touted as a good whitening agent.

It is useful to remember that natural teeth whitening options do not provide a very spectacular effect visible right away. Theirs is more an “over time” kind of whitening. Patience is key. Lifestyle changes, especially where cutting on staining agents are concerned (tea, coffee, tobacco, colas, and certain foods), can also help maintain whiteness and prevent further staining.
