Whiter Teeth—In Seconds! We love how a whiter smile helps us appear younger and healthier instantly, but if strips irritate your gums and whitening toothpastes cause sensitivity, try brushing with this gentle all-natural powder: In a small sealable container, combine: 2 Tbs. baking soda 1 Tbs. dried, finely ground sage 1/2 Tbs. sea salt 15-20 drops peppermint essential oil A sprinkle of Splenda for sweetness (optional) After brushing with regular toothpaste, dip your damp toothbrush into the mix and brush it over teeth for 1 minute, then rinse. How it works: Sage is used by many cultures for its natural teeth-whitening and astringent properties, while baking soda gently polishes away any stains. And aside from its breath-freshening ability, peppermint essential oil also has antibacterial, antiseptic and pain-relieving properties. And to top it all off, sea salt is full of teeth-nourishing minerals, and is especially helpful in healing irritated gums. The result: a glowing, healthy smile that will put you in the spotlight this spring! join MODA
