UNDATED (CBS) -- Many people go to great lengths for a brighter smile by having procedures and using over the counter products. However, there's a simpler way to get whiter teeth.

It turns out certain foods can act like nature's toothbrush. Fruits like strawberries, oranges and pineapples all have an acid that naturally whitens your teeth and foods like cauliflower use a sort of scrubbing action on our enamel to help remove plaque.

On the other hand, there are foods and drinks we may want to stay away from. Tea is considered the worst thing people can drink to stain their teeth.
