WHITEN YOUR TEETH

Oh I gotta share this with all of you and believe it or not it does work. Here’s a berry good way to whiten your teeth without costly treatments at the dentist or kits from the store.

Crush a strawberry, mix it with half a teaspoon of baking powder, smear it on your teeth with a toothbrush and leave it on for five minutes. Finish by brushing your teeth with toothpaste. Then repeat once a week.

OMG I did this but used baking soda and it work –now I’ll try baking powder – ye gads.

Anyway, some beauty expert says the malic acid in strawberries rids teeth of stains from coffee, red wine and dark sodas (what in hell is a dark soda?). Hey it might be as effective as those costly whiteners but it sure is cheaper and let’s face it’s a fast, cheap way to a bright smile.

colas, root beer, dr. pepper, etc are dark sodas-- really any soda with a considerable amount of caramel-colored dye is supposedly just as bad for your sparkling white teeth as coffee.

rumor has it, drinking soda through a straw helps limit staining on the front teeth. still not convinced i want to drink coffee through a straw though...
