Yellow teeth stains can affect your confidence and smile. But don’t worry, there are simple and effective remedies to brighten your teeth naturally. Tap to check!
BAKING SODA
Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can scrub away surface stains. Mixing it with water and brushing your teeth twice a week can gradually reduce yellow discolouration.
USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Hydrogen peroxide acts as a natural bleaching agent. Dilute it with water, swish it around your mouth, and rinse. Regular use can brighten teeth and lighten yellow stains.
PULLING WITH COCONUT OIL
Oil pulling, especially with coconut oil, is great at getting rid of plaque and bacteria. Swishing a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes daily can lead to a whiter smile over time.
AVOID STAIN-CAUSING FOODS
Coffee, red wine, dark sodas will all eventually cause yellowing. This is just another reason to limit consumption of these drinks or drink them with a straw to avoid staining the teeth.
WHITEN TEETH
Activated charcoal absorbs toxins and stains. Brushing your teeth with a small amount of activated charcoal can help remove discolouration, but avoid using it excessively to protect enamel.
VISIT YOUR DENTIST
Cleanings twice a year with a dentist can rid of tarter and those nasty deep stains. Your dentist can also recommend stronger whitening treatments if needed.
STUDY FINDINGS
An National Institutes of Health (NIH) study supports hydrogen peroxide as an effective agent for teeth whitening, showing that regular use can improve surface colour while maintaining dental health.
CONCLUSION
Natural teeth-whitening methods are safe, easy, and highly effective. Consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
