 1. Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide

  A mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to eliminate plaque buildup and bacteria, effectively fights stains. Combine 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to create a paste. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water after brushing with this mixture.

 2.  Apple Cider Vinegar

  Minimal amounts of apple cider vinegar can contribute to teeth whitening. Form a mouthwash by blending 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with 6 ounces of water. Swish the solution for 30 seconds, then rinse with water and brush your teeth.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh grated coconut, 2 tablespoons roasted chana dal (Bengal gram), green chillies, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon tamarind paste, salt to taste and water. For tempering, you will need oil, mustard seeds, urad dal (black gram), curry leaves, dried red chilli and hing (asafoetida).

 4. Activated Charcoal:

 Activated Charcoal is considered effective in removing teeth stains due to its high absorbency, thus eliminating pigments and stains, along with potential bacteria and toxins.  

5. Oil Pulling

 Coconut oil pulling, or swishing in the mouth with coconut oil, may effectively diminish plaque buildup on the teeth. As plaque buildup can contribute to yellowing, it follows that coconut oil pulling may reduce discolouration. 

6. Sea Salt with Lemon Juice

The combination of sea salt and lemon juice provides essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, among others. Sea salt's antibacterial properties also freshen your breath and protect your enamel.
