Do you want to have the PERFECT pearly white smile? 6 DIY home remedies will suffice.

How many times have you seen someone’s smile and wished you had that bright white smile?
Have dingy grey or yellow stains dulled the lustre of your pearly whites?
We all have tooth envy from time to time, but did you know it’s easier than you think to have your own set of pearly whites?

Self-care remedies can help whiten teeth, and avoiding substances that stain teeth can help prevent discolouration.
To restore your bright smile, use these secrets to whiter teeth.

Eat your way to white teeth

Tannin-containing foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, and wine, can stain the teeth. Anything that can stain a white cotton T-shirt can also stain teeth, so always “think as you drink.” At the same time, acidic foods can discolour teeth by wearing down the enamel. Reduce your sugar intake while increasing your intake of calcium-rich foods such as milk and milk products, cheese, and yoghurt. Incorporate walnuts, almonds, mushrooms, eggs, sweet potatoes, and carrots into your diet.

To keep teeth white, don’t light them up

When it comes to staining teeth, smoking is one of the worst offenders. Tobacco causes brown stains in the grooves and pits of tooth enamel that are difficult to remove with brushing alone. The stains become more entrenched the longer you smoke.

Baking Soda
Baking soda is said to be effective at whitening teeth. All you have to do is gently scrub it over the surface of your teeth for a couple of weeks to see the difference.

Oil pulling

Coconut oil pulling is a traditional technique that many people use because it has anti-microbial properties and is beneficial to both gums and teeth. Gargle with a spoonful of coconut oil for 10 to 15 minutes, or brush your teeth with a few drops of coconut oil. You can achieve the same results by using Sunflower and Sesame oil.

Seek professional help
If none of these above-mentioned remedies seems to work for you, it might be time to see your dentist and get a professional cleaning and whitening done.
