7 At-Home Teeth Whitening Treatments for a Megawatt SmileDentists dish on the whitening DIYs that work just as well as their in-office treatments |
Best for Natural Teeth Whitening How it works: If you're opposed to chemical-infused bleaching treatments and toothpastes, but still want whiter teeth, you might opt for a DIY remedy. "Ingredients with highly acidic content can remove stubborn surface stains, possibly even faster than whitening toothpastes," says Stirneman.
What to use: To create your own at-home whitening solution, Stirneman recommends diluting some apple cider vinegar with water and mixing with an all-natural toothpaste (such as Tom's of Maine Simply White Toothpaste, $4.99). Mix three parts water and one part vinegar with your toothpaste, brush and rinse very well, so none of the acid remains on your teeth.
When you'll see results: Within 3 months
