How To Whiten Your Teeth At Home

Try Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal has risen dramatically as an easy at-home teeth whitening method. Charcoal is quite porous, which means it's full of holes. This allows it to absorb bacteria and other tiny particles before they stain the teeth! Amazing, right?

If you want to try using activated charcoal to whiten your teeth at home, mix 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal with enough water to form a paste. Brush your teeth with this paste. Remember to pay close attention to the stained parts of your teeth! Brush for 2 minutes before washing your mouth out until all of the activated charcoal is gone. Brush with activated charcoal 2 to 3 times a week to whiten your teeth. A bright smile awaits!

Swish With Coconut Oil

Coconut oil contains fatty acids, which break down into enzymes when they encounter saliva. These enzymes are quite effective at whitening teeth! The oil and saliva create a molecule that binds to the plaque and yellow stains on the teeth. It breaks these impurities down, leaving white teeth behind! If you want to use coconut oil to whiten your teeth, swish coconut oil around your mouth for roughly 20 minutes and spit it out. You can also add a little coconut oil to your toothbrush and brush as you would normally. This can be repeated several times a week. In addition to whitening the teeth, many say coconut oil also protects against gingivitis. Awesome!
