Lemon

I'm tired of my teeth looking yellow and I can't afford to pay to have a dentist whiten my teeth. I was googling how to get whiter teeth and ran into a guy that used tooth soap,which is very expensive,and another that used lemon and baking soda. So if you've done the lemon thing did it get noticably whiter? If not what can I use,ps I have braces so I can't use the white strips.

  • It says that prolong use of lemon can harm the teeth. But I don't see why once a week would hurt?

  • the acid in lemons can be harmful to the enamel on ur teeth. what about whitening toothpaste and strips? and if you smoke and drink coffee, brush ur teeth as often as possible between cigarettes and coffee

  • trying to whiten while you have braces could backfire. i know someone who brushed with baking soda while she had braces, and when the braces came off she had very visible squares on her teeth - because of the baking soda. i would wait until the braces come off and then whiten.

  • I would definitely wait until you get your braces off to do any type of whitening!
