    DIY Teeth Whitening: Tools for Brighter Teeth From Your Kitchen

    Did you know turmeric, basil and strawberries can all help whiten your teeth and brighten your smile? The desire to achieve pristine pearly whites has significantly increased in popularity, with many people thinking expensive visits to the dentist are the only option.

    But there are plenty of little-known solutions to achieve whiter teeth. In fact, you’ve probably got access to at least one in your kitchen cupboards right now! 100% natural and safe, below you’ll find some simple methods you can start using right away to transform your smile.

    Basil and turmeric

    Commonly found in the average household, both basil and turmeric work in very similar ways to whiten teeth and improve oral health. Possessing anti-inflammatory components to relieve any gum discomfort, basil and turmeric successfully reduce plaque and tooth discoloration.

    And it couldn’t be easier! Simply select basil or turmeric to use, and mix with lime juice or water to form a paste. Your basil or turmeric paste then needs to be applied to teeth and left for a few minutes before thoroughly rinsing away. When used regularly, you’ll notice less discoloration and healthier-feeling gums – all from using basic herbs and spices!

    However, if you’re specifically looking for fast, almost immediate results whilst still avoiding high prices and visits to the dentist, try incorporating a home-whitening kit too. Equally easy, inexpensive, and pain-free.

    Charcoal

    Most of us associate charcoal with dirt, but when it comes to teeth whitening this couldn’t be further from the truth. The rough crystals found in charcoal are an extremely effective method of eliminating teeth-stains quickly and safely, without spending hundreds of dollars!

    Simply mix a small amount of toothpaste with charcoal powder, and use this to brush your teeth. Charcoal powder can be found in most health-food stores, but to achieve an even easier solution you can use burnt toast.

    Strawberries

    Despite their vibrant red color, strawberries are in fact one of the most naturally powerful teeth whiteners around. And they’re delicious too! Packed full of vitamin C, strawberries contain astringents and malic acid that successfully remove plaque, one of the main contributors of yellowness and discoloration to teeth.

    The easiest method of using strawberries for teeth whitening is to cut one in half and, to further enhance its effectiveness, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on top if you have any. Rub the half-strawberry around your teeth for a few minutes then rinse away any residue with water. Repeat this process regularly to achieve maximum results and a dazzling smile.

    Successful teeth whitening doesn’t have to cost a fortune and, by using basic kitchen ingredients, you can easily brighten your teeth from the comfort of your own home, without breaking the bank!
