How Make Your Teeth Whiter by Cleaning

Yellow teeth can be caused by numerous factors such as smoking, drinking coffee, poor hygiene and even simple aging. Many dentists offer teeth whitening service and there are kits available that allow you to whiten them at home. However, by cleaning your teeth with the malic acid found strawberries, you can cheaply and easily whiten your teeth, according to Health.com. Although not as effective as a professional treatment, the use of strawberries combined with baking soda is a quick way to whiten your teeth.
