Body Focus - Total Body Wellness System

Do you have the luxury of time, yet short on money to have a smile makeover? If so, a do-it-yourself teeth whitening remedy is an appropriate choice.

Notice that the word "appropriate" is used here instead of "best" choice. Of course we should realize that both professional whitening systems and home remedy teeth whitening system are typically used to achieve the healthy smile result. It is only the patient's lifestyle that will determine the appropriate solution.

The following provides an overview on teeth whitening systems some which can be used in the comfort of your home.

NOTE: You should always consult your dentist or even a physician before trying out any of the following home-made teeth whitening remedies.

Can I make my own whitening solution inexpensively?
Believe it or not, you can save your precious money on costly teeth bleaching items! By allotting the necessary time for following the suggested tips, you can rest assured that you can have a white and bright set of teeth for free. You can have bright set of teeth with stuff that are normally in your kitchen or medicine chest.

Do I have these things in my house?
Of course, all you need to look for are plain household items—baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, cups, bowls, and spoons.

What are the steps to create my own whitening paste?
To make a paste, mix two or three teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide and two teaspoons of baking soda together. Place the mixture in a small bowl. The thickness of the paste should be consistent with the typical thickness of toothpaste. For extra taste, a bit of flavorful mint or just a little scoop of toothpaste can be combined with the home-made paste.

Now, how is this home-made mixture used?
Use a toothbrush and leave the mixture on your teeth for at a couple of minutes. You should avoid swallowing the paste. If this happens, just drink lots of water.

What do I do after brushing the paste on my teeth?
You need to brush again using usual toothpaste to get rid off the bitter taste of the hydrogen peroxide. Smokers and coffee drinkers may use this remedy to minimize the heavy stain on their teeth.

Can I use this paste if I have a sensitive oral condition?
Should you have gingivitis, cavities, open sores, or other gum problems, the paste can make your gums look pale for a short time. Remember, you should contact a doctor or even a physician before trying out this remedy.

How frequently can I apply the paste on my teeth?
At least once a week. You should avoid brushing your teeth with this paste more than that.

To summarize, here are some characteristics of do-it-yourself home-made teeth whitening systems:

• The patient must be capable of performing and following the abovementioned instructions.
• The person must allocate time to perform the do-it-yourself whitening remedies.
• Inclination should stay as it can take more than a week before expected results are achieved.
• Home-made remedies relatively cost less than professional teeth whitening solutions.

Hope this article puts a brighter smile upon your face!
