Do you know the difference between home remedies, professional whitening, and the modern PAP+ technology?
Myth: Lemon, baking soda, and charcoal are the best natural whitening remedies
Fact: These home tricks can damage enamel in the long run. While they may make teeth look whiter temporarily, it’s more due to an abrasive effect than true whitening.
