You’d Never Guess That These Two Ingredients Together Can Whiten Your Teeth! (VIDEO)

There’s nothing more attractive than a great smile. Flash one to a stranger and it can change their day. Smile at a cute guy or girl and it’s one of the best ways to catch their eye. But just as surely as a great smile can enhance your looks, a bad one can ruin them.Yellowing teeth and bad breath can be a turnoff to just about anyone you encounter and it will have people looking away instead of catching their eye.

So If you’re teeth aren’t up to snuff, how do you go about fixing them? Well, it’s actuallypretty simple but the ingredients you’ll use might have you second guessing. Don’t worry, they work… and work well!

What You’ll Need

To get you on the way to a bright white smile, you’ll need just two ingredients:

Coconut Oil

Turmeric

Combined together, they form a paste, much like your regular toothpaste. In fact, if you wish to make it even more similar to toothpaste, you can even add in a few drops ofpeppermint oil. It will not only whiten your teeth, but leave your breath minty fresh.

How Does It Work?

If you were shocked to read that one of only two ingredients to whiten your teeth is turmeric, you’re not alone. Turmeric is a notoriously stubborn spice.

Bright yellow in colour, even getting a little bit of it on clothing or certain surfaces, like plastic or wood, can stain them permanently. So you would probably think it would stain your teeth yellow, too, right? Actually, turmeric does the opposite.

Teeth are not perfectly smooth. If you were to look at your own teeth through a microscope, you’d see that they’re porous and have an uneven texture. Because they’re so fine, however, it doesn’t feel that way if you ran your tongue over them. It’s this texture, though, that causes stains.

If you were to drink black coffee or soda, the colour would get trapped in these grooves and essentially attract them like a sponge. Turmeric is different. Though it is a fine powder, it’s actually gently abrasive. It’s helps scrub out these stains, especially combined with other abrasive prodcuts, like baking soda. But instead of staining your teeth in return, it has a bleaching effect. Strange but true.

How To Do It

Using this solution to whiten your teeth could not be easier. Simple add the ingredients in a small bowl and stir together. The amounts you wish to use are completely up to you. If the paste feels a bit too gritty, simple add more coconut oil. If you want more bleaching power, you can simply add more turmeric.

Once you’ve got it mixed up, just dip your toothbrush head into the mixture and thenbrush your teeth with it like normal. A couple minutes with this mixture and you’re done. Not only will it help whiten teeth, but turmeric is also anti-fungal and anti-microbial. It can help relieve toothaches, reduce gum irritation and a whole host of other things.

There are a couple things to note when using the mix. If you haven’t already guessed, this mix will definitelystain your toothbrush bright yellow. In this case, it’s probably best to buy a separate toothbrush to use just for this paste.

Also, the taste of turmeric may take some getting used to. If the coconut oil is not enough to mask the flavour, should you find it unappealing, simply add a few drops of peppermint oil to the mix.

After the first time using this solution, you’ll likely see a difference in the appearance of your teeth. Use it regularly for a couple weeks and you’ll have noticeably whiter teeth, enough so that you can throw away your traditional whiten strips in favour of this natural and healthy alternative.
