You can brush your teeth with strawberries and baking soda to remove surface stains, whiten your teeth and improve your smile. The malic acid in strawberries acts as a safe bleaching agent that rivals many expensive teeth whitening products to achieve similar results at a fraction of the cost. While nothing can replace bleaching treatments from your dentist, brushing your teeth with strawberries is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile between office visits.
