Home Remedies For Teeth Whitening

I'm sure each and everyone of us wants to have a brilliantly white smile. But multiple visits to the dentist can be expensive and time consuming. Aside from the fact that stains will reappear in no time, you can avoid the hassle and expense by Home Remedies For Teeth Whitening.

Yeah, you could be caring for your teeth to the extreme level; it could still be stained by coffee, soda, tea, medicines, and smoking. On a daily basis the food we eat seeps into the fine cracks of our teeth, which make it impossible to brush it off. Well, there's whitening toothpastes available in the market but it could only take out minor discolorations. When the stain gets older, its more difficult to get rid of.

No matter how badly stained your teeth are, there's still hope! Baking Soda will bleach off those stains. I personally use this method because for the record, I am very very obsessed with my teeth. hee^_^hee.

You have to remember that Baking Soda is pretty abrasive though. If you dig your toothbrush directly on the baking soda and brush it on your teeth, it will hurt your gums or lips quite a bit. Mixing Baking soda with your toothpaste is the most convenient method I found through trial and error.

You have to squeeze enough amount of toothpaste onto your toothbrush and top it with Baking Soda then start brushing. Don't brush for too long because it could permanently damage your enamel (which is called as abrasion) leading to hypersensitivity. It should be best to use twice or thrice a month only. Know that Baking Soda can dissolve orthodontic glue so do not use this method if you have braces or permanent retainers. You will notice a slight difference after the first brushing. Your teeth will feel smoother and cleaner.

Another way to use this method is by mixing Baking Soda with a little bit of Hydrogen Peroxide. Trust me it works!

The Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez III After Shock

Once again, the world wide web got stirred up by the controversial win of Manny Pacquiao last November 12, 2011 against his Kryptonite Juan Manuel Marquez. I myself was also hyped up to write an article again after being a slacker for so many months. So you think Manny Pacquiao really won the fight? Or it was supposed to be Juan Marquez who should take home the belt and the price money?

I'm no expert here but I read somewhere that, if you are a champion or a title defender just a mere pose of fighting stance is as good as point advantage already. I would assume that half the world watched the fight and we saw how Marquez fought as a challenger that night. He was supposed to be aggressive to throw punches not just wait for Pacquiao to attack first.

And just today a very sensationalized video of foot stopper trick by Marquez was posted in YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Someone countered it too and posted a video that Pacman stepped on Marquez's foot as well. I wonder why the referee didn't see it? Well perhaps we were all too busy looking at the punches landed on each fighter's face and we didn't notice what's happening down there.

Like any other games, there are certain rules being followed in Boxing and I'm sure the Judges scored according to the rules that's why they gave a majority decision in favor of Pacquiao. In this case winning isn't just about knocking down your opponent. And Marquez as an old time professional boxer should know that. He is a challenger; he was supposed to act like one. This fight may not be entertaining as Pacquiao's previous fights against other Mexican boxers but the thing is he fought it fairly and by that he still have my respect. Marquez on the other hand is a great boxer. There's no denying about that, but whining and complaining doesn't prove anything. What's done is done.  Question the judges not the players. They both played their parts.
