About Me

I love browsing the internet for DIY home beauty recipes. I have noticed a trend lately, though, in people posting recipes that can actually harm you. One type of recipe that caught my eye recently is the many teeth-whitening ones. I saw one that actually had household bleach as an ingredient! Not only can household bleach harm your teeth, but it is poisonous to your entire body. Some recipes tell you to use grainy substances, such as sand, to literally scrape the stains off. This can greatly harm your teeth, as well. I created this blog, because I don't want people harming their teeth in an attempt to whiten them. Use only products that are FDA approved for use on your teeth, or visit your dentist for a professional treatment.

It's important to take care when starting your children on a mouthwash regime to ensure that they don't swallow any harmful substances. At what age should children begin using mouthwash? In general, kids should begin using mouthwash around the age of 7 years old.
