Natural Tooth Whitening: A Gentle & Effective DIY Treatment

This natural tooth whitening treatment helps to clean and whiten the teeth gently. This tooth whitening treatment works especially well on teeth that have been stained with coffee or wine, but can be used as a whitener on any teeth, including sensitive teeth. This tooth whitening treatment can be used about once per week, but I do not suggest using it more than that due to the acidic lemon juice used.

Things You'll Need
