Step 1: Materials You Will Need:
Baking Soda (pure)
Hydrogen Peroxide (3%)
Toothbrush (preferably different from the one you use daily)
1 mixing glass
Mixing tool (silver)
A teaspoon measurement
Step 2: Grab the Baking Soda
measure out 4 teaspoons of baking soda and pour into glass.
Step 3: Grab the Hydrogen Peroxide
Measure out 2 teaspoons of hydrogen Peroxide to add to the Baking soda.
Step 4: Grab the Silver Mixing Tool
Mix the two ingredients together until you get a paste like substance.
Step 5: Grab Your Everyday Toothbrush
Using the mixing tool apply the paste onto the toothbrush, enough to cover all the bristles of the toothbrush.
Step 6: Align Your Teeth Evenly
Begin to brush the top and bottom 6 teeth at the same time for approximately 1minute.
Caution: Try to avoid gums but it will not burn or hurt you.
Warning: Do NOT Swallow
Step 7: Continue to Add More Paste
To the tooth brush and brush your teeth at least one more time for 1 minute.
WARNING: Don’t do brush your teeth with these ingredients more than twice a week.
Step 8: For the Best Results
Swish about 3 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide in your mouth like mouthwash for 30 seconds in order to get quicker results.
Step 9: Advice
Should see instant results after the first week then a gradual change over the next couple months.
PS. The sets of Teeth are different because this Instructable was a College assignment. The first picture is my own teeth, the second is a friend who has been using these ingredients on her teeth for about two months now.

I have heard of using these ingredients before, but I've never seen an actual recipe for it. For a while now I've been willing to try it, but I didn't know how to use of what. I'm going to save it for sure, so that I can try it! Also, I'll be sure to pick up another kind of toothpaste, so that I can use it in this.

Don’t forget that you only have one set of teeth and that
even though wanting to stick to 100% organic solutions is great if you get the
formula wrong you can damage your enamel permanently… There are also 100%
natural and organic products to whiten your teeth that have been developed by
leading brands under a lab environment to guarantee their safeties. http://whitesmilepros.com/how-to-whiten-teeth-naturally
In my opinion saving a few $ is not worth the risk!

hydrogen peroxide can be found in the chemist's section or the hygiene care. (maybe in the same aisle as the toothpaste is.) be sure that it is 3% or less as a concentrated version is poisonus.

@ rimar2000. .... what danger does hydrogen peroxide pose? i have used it as my daily mouthwash for the past decade without any noticeably negative effect. Is there supposed to be something wrong that is so far undetected? It would be good to know specific details,if you have the information.

hydrogen peroxide is not dangerous, unless you DRINK a highly concentrated or exceptionally large portion. rinsing your mouth / brushing your teeth with it isn't anything to worry about. it's already present in most (if not all) whitening products, and as they're more or less safe, i wouldn't worry.

Thank you for the added comment. I didn't really think it's dangerous, since I have used it for so long, but I like to hear experiences of other people. I would have liked to hear what rimar had to say as he prefaced his post with "WARNING". He said it is dangerous but didn't offer why.

will this still work if you have braces?
Reply 9 years ago on Introduction
Don't whiten your teeth if you have braces. You'll have different-colored spots under the brackets when they're removed. Worry about it after you have your braces off.
