You will need:

  • Baking soda
  • Hydrogen Peroxide
  • A Small bowl
  • Toothbrush
  • Plastic wrap
  • Mint Flavoring
  • Cranberry juice

WARNING: Do not whiten teeth if you have cavities, open soars, gingivitis or other gum diseases.

Make The Whitening Paste

In a small bowl mix two teaspoons each of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Stir until it is the consistency of regular toothpaste. If you want, you can add mint flavoring for a better tasting paste.

Apply The Paste

Apply paste to toothbrush and brush the paste all over your teeth. Leave the paste on for approximately two minutes.

Rinse

Rinse thoroughly. Do Not swallow whitening paste. You can also rinse with cranberry juice to get rid of the baking soda taste.

Store Left Over Paste

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for another use.

Brush with peroxide paste only once per week. Hydrogen peroxide can cause tissue damage if used too often.
