Nothing is more upsetting than to see your teeth suddenly discoloring. Now this may be off-putting, but the good news is there are some natural remedies that can help you with it and control the way your teeth start to discolor. They are simple to apply and will help combat the issue.
Oil Pulling
This is the oldest trick in the book. How does it work? This involves swishing a tablespoon of coconut oil or sesame oil in your mouth for about 15-20 minutes. This may help reduce bacteria and plaque that can cause teeth discoloration.
Baking Soda
Did you know that baking soda can do much more besides in the kitchen? It actually consists of mild abrasive properties which means it can help in removing the stains on the surface. All you need to do is take a small amount, form a paste, and brush your teeth with it.
Activated Charcoal
It is known for its ability to absorb toxins and when available in powder form, it can be used by mixing with water to make a paste. Gently brush your teeth, then rinse thoroughly. You will see results in no time!
A Range of Fruits & Vegetables
There’s just so much crunchy fruits and vegetables can do for you. How about adding apples, carrots, and celery which can help scrub away plaque and stains from your teeth?
Apple cider vinegar is great. It has natural whitening properties, but it’s important to use it sparingly as it’s acidic and can erode tooth enamel. So you need to dilute it with water and use it as a mouthwash, but rinse thoroughly afterward.
