Deep stains on the surface of the teeth can cause the teeth to turn yellow, and age and diet are major factors contributing to tooth discoloration over time, but yellow teeth are not good for health or self-confidence.
So if you are avoiding showing your smile or laughing out loud because of this mouth problem, here’s how to get rid of yellowing teeth, as published by the “Healthshots” website.
• Causes of yellowing teeth:
Plaque deposits
Daily consumption of tea, coffee and other types of beverages such as wine and soda.
Not following proper dental hygiene.
– Breathing through the mouth.
Certain foods such as blueberries, cherries, beets and pomegranate.
– some medicine.
Sugary drinks.
Smoking.
• Home remedies to get rid of yellowing of the teeth:
– Brushing teeth with baking soda
Baking soda is one of the best and most easy-to-use natural solutions for teeth whitening, as it enhances teeth whitening capabilities and reduces discoloration.
Mix baking soda with alum powder in equal proportions and brush your teeth gently with this mixture, then rinse it, and make sure to repeat this procedure twice a week when brushing your teeth. You can also use toothpaste with baking soda.
– Nim Dutton
Neem twigs contain a lot of anti-inflammatory anti-bacterials, so they are not only helpful in removing yellow stains, but can also make teeth whiter, help strengthen gums, eliminate bad odor, keep bacteria at bay, and protect oral health.
– Coconut Oil
Coconut oil can be considered a preventative home care practice to maintain oral hygiene, as it helps detoxify the body and whiten and brighten teeth all thanks to the lauric acid, which helps reduce inflammation and kills bacteria.
-basil
Basil leaves are a natural way to whiten teeth, by mixing dried basil leaves mixed with mustard oil to rub the teeth, as a 2014 study indicated that basil mouthwash has an antibacterial effect and is effective against bacterial strains that cause plaque.
