No more than once a week! Lemon, even diluted, remains an acid. In high doses or used too often, it can weaken your enamel. Imagine using sandpaper every day on a smooth surface: the results would be visible , but at what cost!
Some tips after application
After using this method, avoid highly colored foods like coffee, tea, red wine, or beets for a few hours. Your teeth, which are slightly more porous immediately after application, are like a sponge: they easily absorb pigments.
When should you stop?
If you experience unusual tooth sensitivity or discomfort, it’s best to discontinue use of this mixture and consult a professional. Every mouth is unique, and what works for one may not work for another.
For a dazzling smile… in the long term
This homemade recipe is a one-time solution, a quick boost of brightness, like ironing a shirt . But to keep your smile bright every day, nothing replaces good oral hygiene, regular visits to the dentist, and the use of suitable products.
