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.
Gentler alternatives, such as professionally approved whitening toothpastes, also exist for those looking for long-lasting results without the risk of damaging their enamel.
