You may have heard or seen videos that say using strawberries along with baking soda is an excellent remedy to get white teeth. But according to some researches, this formula does not actual works as teeth whitener. This formula only can remove some debris from your teeth but do not give you ivory white smile. The reason your teeth seems white after the use of strawberry & baking soda (do-it-yourself) mixture is that you have just removed debris from your teeth.
Strawberries are not a solution to get white teeth
If you really want to whiten your teeth then you need something that penetrates into your teeth and break down the stain molecule inside. If you do not have that then you only will get superficial rather than getting whitening from inside. Using strawberries & baking soda is a good example to show you that this type of remedies mostly gives you superficial instead of inner whitening.
The main reason for strawberries not being worthy solution as teeth whitener is the chemistry of this fruit. Strawberry is a tasty juicy fruit and has many benefits as well but as far as teeth whitening is concern it is lacking behind in hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. These two (hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide) are the main ingredients found in teeth whitening products.
In a study, the research team had compared a homemade strawberry & baking soda recipe with other remedies to get white teeth such as over-the-counter products & professional teeth whiteners. The results showed (after brushing teeth with strawberry & baking soda recipe) no real whitening, based on 2 popular color-measurement tests with a spectrophotometer.
Hence, you really need something else that can help you in regaining the whiteness in your teeth from inside. The best solution for this is to consult your dentist before you try any remedy as teeth whitener.
