Are there any natural ways to whiten my teeth?

Are there any natural ways to whiten my teeth?
There are a few natural methods of teeth whitening, but they are very slow and relatively ineffective. The best way to have white teeth naturally is by avoiding foods and drinks that can cause tooth staining. This means one should keep away from smoking, drinking and consuming tea, coffee, etc… To whiten teeth naturally, you need to remove the bacteria that causes staining. This can be done by consuming food that produces a good flow of saliva like apples, guava, carrots, pears, sugar cane, celery, cucumbers and cauliflowers. The fibre content in these foods helps in removing the bacteria. One should also avoid consuming too many fruits that contain citrus as they can damage tooth enamel.
