4. Oil Pulling:
The advantages of coconut oil are expanding, and they now include your smile! The term “oil pulling” is both accurate and effective. If you can stomach the taste, this age-old medicine is a tried-and-true cure.
Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which aids in the battle against yellow-inducing bacteria in plaque. Furthermore, this miraculous oil promotes the condition of your gums and eliminates foul breath.
It won’t “bleach” your teeth, but the lauric acid in coconut oil can clear them of germs present in plaque that causes them to yellow. It is also said to improve gum health and keep your breath fresh.
Here’s everything you’ll need for your ‘oil pull’…
1 to 1.5 teaspoons coconut oil
How to use It?
Use a spoon to scoop up a suitable quantity of coconut oil before cleaning your teeth. Place the coconut in your mouth and let it melt. Swish the liquid about your mouth for ten to fifteen minutes, much like mouthwash.
Spit out the coconut oil after covering the whole interior of your mouth several times, and then clean your teeth. You can practice this daily or whenever you like to do it.
5. Vinegar of Apple Cider:
Apple cider vinegar is well-known for its medicinal properties. This natural antibiotic is also beneficial to your oral health! It will clean your teeth and gums by acting as a personal scrubber, eliminating stains and germs. What makes it so effective? Acetic acid, potassium, magnesium, probiotics, and enzymes are all found in apple cider vinegar.
These tiny workers consume dangerous bacteria while encouraging the growth of healthy bacteria. Because it is naturally acidic, it aids in the breakdown of plaque and other things that have been attached to the teeth. The pH of apple cider vinegar can eliminate stains from your teeth, allowing you to whiten them naturally.
How much ACV is required?
1 to 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
How to Use It?
Using ACV to whiten teeth takes time and effort. You’ll need to repeat the practice for nearly a month before you notice any real effects. Rub apple cider vinegar on your teeth for one to two minutes with your finger, then rinse your mouth completely with water.
With acids in mind, we recommend that you exercise caution while using acids on your teeth. Repetitive use of acids on your teeth may be detrimental to your teeth, so always rinse and brush soon after.
6. Eat Fruits For Natural whitening:
While chewing, crunchy fruits and vegetables are believed to remove plaque from your teeth. Of course, they are not a replacement for cleaning your teeth, but any therapy is a good remedy if it produces the intended outcomes.
Pineapple and strawberries are two foods that have been claimed to whiten your teeth. Bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapple, efficiently dissolves stains and aids in general teeth whitening.
Strawberries, on the other hand, contain malic acid, which has been shown to reduce discoloration and make your teeth seem whiter.
Consult Your Dentist:
If none of the above-given Home cures seems not working for you, it may be time to enlist the help of a professional, in this case, a dentist. Veneers or dental implants may be a better option than teeth with poor color and health. Veneers are porcelain wafers that are permanently attached to your teeth. Veneers cover your teeth and give them a false-color, shape, or location. Veneers are not a “teeth whitening” option, but they can brighten your smile by hiding an artificial coating on your teeth. If the health and color of your teeth do not appear to be repairable, dental implants may be the way to go. Dental implants are metal posts that are used to support prosthetic tooth restorations.
