7 ways to get whiter & brighter teeth !

We’ve heard so many weird home remedies that people use for whiter teeth. Thought we should share some of the most common ones:

1.Sesame oil

Our own traditional medicine – the Ayurveda – has a simple home remedy for whiter teeth in the form of oil pulling. It whitens the teeth and also cleanses and detoxifies the body. 2.Bananas

Did you know that the banana peel can help sparkle your teeth? Rub the white part inside a banana peel on your teeth and leave it for a couple of minutes and rinse.

3.Tulsi

You can use either dried, powdered leaves of basil as it is or you can mix it with mustard oil for brushing your teeth. The highly valued holy basil (tulsi) is known for protecting bleeding gums and also for increasing the whiteness of the teeth. 5.Roots of banyan tree

Chewing on the roots of banyan tree keeps your teeth pearly white. The roots of the banyan tree can also be used as a source of disposable toothbrushes.

6.Vinegar

Gargling with apple cider vinegar is said to be very effective in brightening and whitening your smile. It is known to remove stains and to whiten teeth and also killing the gum disease caused by the bacteria in your mouth. But excess use can result in weakening the enamel.

7.Rich foods in Vitamin C

Vitamin C can lighten and brighten your teeth. Applying vitamin C rich lemon, oranges, strawberries, etc. directly on your teeth can help clean and whiten them. But as they are acidic, do not use them more than once or twice a week. And remember to brush your teeth immediately after.
