Yellow teeth can be quite embarrassing issue. Many people particularly smokers are most familiar with this problem. But, also non-smokers can deal with yellow teeth, especially if they love consuming lots of sugar.

People who don’t have pearly white teeth feel ashamed to smile in front of other people just because of this issue. However, the solution to this problem is really easy, cheap and simple.

You will need only two ingredients, and sometimes you can use only one of these two. Knowing this will help you a lot since you will avoid using commercial products that are rich in chemicals. These chemicals not only affect your dental health, but also your overall health.

• 8 teaspoons of baking soda
• 8 teaspoons of virgin coconut oil

Preparation:

• Just mix these two ingredients well in a bowl.
• Put it on your toothbrush and gently brush your teeth with it and in just 2 minutes your teeth will be pearly white.

Coconut oil has antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties. It has the power to destroy the bacteria that lead to tooth decay. On the other hand, baking soda is a mild abrasive that helps teeth whitening and cleansing, which also restores pH balance.

You need to use virgin, unrefined coconut oil. Never use the processed coconut oil. This homemade toothpaste tastes wonderful and has the best aroma. Get some on your toothbrush just like regular toothpaste and brush.

OIL PULLING/SWISHING

In addition, you can use coconut oil as another way of taking care of your teeth. Use it as oil pulling every morning on an empty stomach for 10-20 minutes, before brushing your teeth. Anyway, you can do this other times during the day or before eating. It eliminates all bacteria in the mouth and refreshes your breath. Moreover, besides its ability to cleanse and detoxify teeth and gums, this method whitens teeth in a natural way.
