This special spice for whitening your teeth

Although turmeric is known for leaving a yellow stain on various surfaces, it is an effective ingredient for whitening yellow teeth.

Turmeric is suitable for sensitive teeth and even toothache because it has anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving and antibiotic compounds.

In the rest of this article, we will tell you how you can prepare a combination for teeth whitening with the help of turmeric, baking soda and coconut oil. Baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate, which is effective in removing stains on teeth. Also, this substance neutralizes the acids produced by bacteria, and this helps to remove excess plaque on the teeth, which causes tooth loss and gum diseases.

Coconut oil is also very important for oral and dental health and is effective in eliminating bacteria, gum disease, bad breath, and tooth sensitivity. This oil makes the teeth whiter and shinier. To make a whitening paste, combine four tablespoons of turmeric powder with two teaspoons of baking soda. Then add two and a half to three tablespoons of coconut oil. Mix them well until it takes a uniform shape. Put two teaspoons of this mixture on your toothbrush and brush your teeth gently for one to two minutes. Then swirl a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth for a minute and then rinse your mouth and teeth with water. Do this several times a week for the first two weeks, but only once or twice a week for the following weeks. This combination will make your toothbrush turn yellow, so it is better to have a separate toothbrush for this. If the skin around the mouth turns yellow due to contact with turmeric, dip a piece of cotton in milk and leave it on the skin for 5 minutes and then wash the face. The excess of this mixture should be stored in the refrigerator.
