White teeth are an advertising move of pasta producers. The teeth are naturally yellowish, so the bright white color of the teeth is not an indication of their health.
There are many causes of yellowness of the teeth. Of course, in the first place it is necessary to say about the harmful habit of drinking coffee, strong tea, and also use various soda, especially if they have dyes in their composition.
The surface of the teeth is not perfectly smooth, but has a certain texture. When a person drinks carbonated drinks, the enamel becomes porous like a sponge, you can even feel it if you just scratch it with your teeth. It is because of this porosity that the teeth fall into the substances that destroy them and form tartar.
Also the causes of yellowness of the teeth are smoking, improper lifestyle, poor or improper oral hygiene, even banal eating. Therefore, whiten your teeth, limiting yourself to something very difficult, you can only slow down the formation of yellow plaque.

- Bleaching soda with lemon .Soda is the universal bleach of everything. Of course, you need to use baking soda for teeth whitening. All you need is to mix the soda with the lemon juice( you can with water), apply the mixture on the toothbrush and brush your teeth for 3 minutes. You can mix the resulting gruel with toothpaste, but then the effect will be less noticeable. It should be said that the result is short-term, superficial, can cause allergy, destroys the tooth enamel, damages the gums. Of the positive facts - soda is working. So, if the teeth and gums are strong, this method is suitable.
- Coal .Ironically, black coal makes teeth whiter. In fact, this is not related to the chemical composition of the coal or its properties.
When performing this procedure, you need to grind the coal( you can just crush it with a spoon, only gently, as it will fly in all directions), apply it to the brush and brush your teeth. Due to the fact that the coal consists of small solid particles, when cleaning his teeth, he physically scours off the plaque along with the enamel. Teeth become whiter, enamel becomes thinner. The effect is more durable than whitening with soda, but it still goes away. You can whiten your teeth in this way no more than once a week. - Hydrogen Peroxide .You can whiten your teeth with hydrogen peroxide, only use a 3% solution, otherwise you can harm the entire oral cavity, not just the teeth.
