​How to whiten your teeth at home

Yellow teeth can be a let down everytime you smile or even talk. Certain foods and even smoking habit can lead to staining of the outer layer of the teeth, which can make them look yellow and not-so-appealing. If you want whiter teeth, minus a dentist visit, here are a few home remedies to follow:

2/5

​Coconut oil

The magic oil can also help you to clean your teeth. All you need to do is take one spoon of this oil and squish it inside your mouth for 3-4 minutes. Another way to use this oil is to add a few drops of it to your toothbrush and brush your teeth with the same and rinse.

3/5

​Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is known for its acetic properties which can help to kill the bacteria and the plague on the outer layer of the teeth. All you need to do is rub some on your teeth for a few minutes and rinse to see the results.

4/5

​Lemon peel

Lemon is known for its bleaching agents and its peel can actually help to clean the teeth. Just rub the peel on the teeth and rinse afterwards.

5/5

​Baking soda

It is known as the universal cleanser and works great for teeth as well. Make a paste of the baking soda with water and use this paste to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth thereafter.
