From DIY pastes to simple lifestyle changes, here are 8 effective methods to whiten your teeth and boost your confidence.
A natural teeth-whitening remedy! Mix baking soda with hydrogen peroxide to create a paste. Brush your teeth gently with this mixture for a few minutes to reduce stains and brighten your smile.
Swish a tablespoon of coconut or sesame oil in your mouth for 10–15 minutes. This ancient practice can help reduce bacteria, plaque, and stains, giving your teeth a whiter appearance over time.
Use toothpaste with whitening agents like baking soda or activated charcoal. These ingredients help remove surface stains, gradually brightening yellow teeth when used consistently.
Apple cider vinegar can act as a natural bleaching agent. Dilute it with water and rinse your mouth before brushing. Use sparingly to avoid damaging enamel.
Mash a few strawberries and mix with baking soda to form a natural whitening paste. The malic acid in strawberries helps lift stains while the baking soda gently polishes teeth.
A mix of lemon juice and salt can act as a mild bleaching agent. Use a small amount of the mixture to scrub your teeth for 1–2 minutes to help remove yellow stains.
Munching on crunchy fruits like apples or vegetables like carrots acts as a natural toothbrush, removing plaque and surface stains that can cause yellowing.
Prevent future yellowing by cutting back on stain-causing culprits like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sodas. Drinking through a straw can also help minimize contact with your teeth.
