Our smile is our identity, but if the teeth turn yellow then it can weaken confidence. No matter how beautiful you are, yellow teeth can affect your entire image. Many times despite brushing daily and using expensive toothpaste, yellowing of teeth does not go away. This problem is not only associated with beauty, but can also be harmful to health. But it is not a matter of concern, because some easy home remedies can make your teeth shiny again.
Yellowing of teeth can occur due to many reasons. Excess intake of substances like tea, coffee, tobacco and cigarettes, poor oral hygiene, or tartar (yellow layer) made from food items are the main reasons. In addition, the color of the teeth can also change with excess or aging of fluoride.
The combination of baking soda and lemon is very effective in removing yellowing of teeth. Baking soda acts like a natural bleaching agent, while the citric acid present in lemon helps remove stains. Take a teaspoon of baking soda and make a paste by mixing a few drops of lemon juice in it. Apply this paste on the teeth with light hands with the help of a brush and rinse it after 2-3 minutes. Do not use it more than 2 times a week.
Coconut oil has been used in India for centuries. In this process called oil pulling, coconut oil is taken in the mouth and rotated for 15-20 minutes. This not only removes the dirt on the teeth, but also makes the gums strong. The lulik acid present in coconut oil eliminates bacteria and helps to make the teeth white.
A mixture of mustard oil and salt is a traditional remedy that reduces the yellowing of the teeth as well as makes the gums healthy. Mix a few drops of mustard oil in half a teaspoon of salt and clean your teeth with this mixture. Do this remedy 2-3 times a week and feel the difference.
Banana, orange or lemon peels have natural bleaching properties. Rub these peels slowly on your teeth and then rinse with water. Do this process 2 times a week. Especially the citric acid present in lemon peel helps in removing stains.
Charcoal powder acts like a natural detoxifier and helps in removing tartar and dirt from teeth. Apply a little charcoal powder on the brush and clean your teeth with it. Keep in mind that use it with light hands so that there is no harm on the surface of the teeth.
Fruits and vegetables are also very beneficial for cleaning teeth. Fruits like pineapple and strawberry contain enzymes that are helpful in removing stains. Grind the strawberries lightly and apply it on your teeth for 5 minutes and then brush. At the same time, eating crisp vegetables like carrots and cucumber also keeps teeth clean.
If your teeth are not turning white despite these home remedies, it may be necessary to contact the dentist. Many times the yellow layer is so strong that it requires professional cleaning to remove it. Dentists can make your teeth shiny using laser whitening or other techniques.
