After I started doing this on a daily basis, people asked me if I had whitened my teeth. That was enough reason for me to continue.

Whitening Teeth at Home

Two ingredients from your kitchen, that’s all you need to avoid tartar. Even science has confirmed it.

  • 1 tablespoon of cold coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon of turmeric
  • 1 toothbrush

Mix the coconut oil with the turmeric in a small bowl. If the coconut oil comes out of the refrigerator, it’s harder to work with. Therefore, try to warm it up for about 10 seconds. Then mix the coconut oil and turmeric into a kind of cream.

Brush Your Teeth with Turmeric and Coconut Oil

Put as much of the mixture on your toothbrush as possible. Especially brush the front row of your teeth gently.

Repeat this procedure for 14 days.

Don’t be afraid that your teeth will turn yellow while brushing, it will disappear once you brush your teeth with regular toothpaste afterwards. The reason why you should do this procedure with turmeric is because turmeric has the property of removing discoloration from your teeth caused by things like coffee.
