FAQ:
1. Is this method safe for sensitive teeth?
If you have sensitive teeth, skip the lemon juice and use baking soda with toothpaste instead.
2. How long before I see results?
Mild whitening may appear after 2–3 uses, but consistency over several weeks yields the best results.
3. Can I use lime instead of lemon?
Yes, but lime is slightly more acidic—use less juice to avoid enamel irritation.
4. Will this damage my enamel?
Used in moderation, this method is safe. Overuse of acidic ingredients can weaken enamel, so limit usage and always rinse thoroughly.
