What to Watch Out For
While this DIY may temporarily brighten teeth, be aware of these cautions:
Acidity: Lemon juice can erode enamel over time.
Abrasiveness: Salt may irritate gums if used too frequently.
Limits: This method doesn’t treat cavities and doesn’t replace professional cleanings or fillings.
Stop immediately and consult a dentist if you notice sensitivity, pain, or gum irritation.
