All fruits, including tomatoes, which is technically a fruit as well, naturally contain malic acid. Bananas contain one quarter to half of one percent malic acid in weight per volume. Citric acid is found in citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, but not in bananas. Strawberries have citric acid as well as malic acid.

Citric acid can and does erode the enamel of your teeth. Drinking too much orange juice over time can provide your body with much need vitamin C, but at the same time it can wreak havoc on your teeth’s enamel. So, what can be good, too much can be bad for your teeth.  

In using the methods below, keep in mind that regular brushing with toothpaste is still recommended and to use a fluoride based mouthwash. Flossing your teeth as well is a great way to maintain the health and wellness of your teeth. Periodic visits to your local dentist is also recommended. They can give you the best assessment of your teeth and how well you are taking care of your teeth. 

There is a distinct difference in the cleaning of your teeth and the whitening process. Don't confuse the two, you still will need periodic teeth cleanings from your dentist.

Whitening Teeth with Strawberries

Will strawberries whiten your teeth? Yes, but you do need to understand how and why not to overdo it. Malic acid in strawberries can whiten your teeth, but the negative effect of malic acid is that this acid will deteriorate the enamel of your teeth and you cannot regain lost enamel.

How do you use strawberries to remove stains and gain whiter teeth?

Whitening Teeth with Baking Soda

Toothpaste has fluoride and other ingredients that are arguably not ideal contents to apply to your teeth. While some ingredients are helpful to getting your teeth clean there are other contents that do nothing to help protect your enamel. 

Baking soda is an abrasive agent that is necessary in removing tough stains and residue left on your teeth from the food that you eat. While it is an abrasive it does not contain a whole host of other ingredients that your teeth don't need. Use baking soda in a paste mixed with a strawberry whenever possible or a stand alone paste mixed with water as a  final process of cleaning your teeth and then rinse with a mouthwash. The mouthwash should be one that has enamel protecting agents to assure a long life to your teeth's finish.
