Home Remedies For Yellow Teeth

The causes of yellow teeth are divided into several factors including aging, genetic components, consumption of certain foods, bad habits like smoking, taking certain medications, etc., but without a doubt, the main reason for the tooth enamel losing its original white tone is down to poor or inadequate oral hygiene. Therefore, before we look at what natural treatments can help you attain a whiter smile, it is essential that you take care of your teeth every day, taking into account recommendations such as these:

• Brush your teeth after every meal with soft toothbrush bristles, devoting at least 3 minutes to this task. It is also important to brush the gums and gently brush your tongue to remove any nasty bacteria.
• Use dental floss to remove food debris that is not removed by brushing.
• Use a mouthwash with fluoride.

In addition to these steps, it is essential that you visit the dentist regularly (every 6 months at least) to have a complete oral review and to prevent tooth decay and other problems that affect the health of your teeth.

When we talk about home remedies for yellow teeth, the treatment with sodium bicarbonate it's the most popular and well-known. This product is part of the composition of many commercial toothpastes, as it helps whiten teeth and it removes plaque, providing a shiny finish on your teeth.

Sage is a plant with many beneficial properties for your health, and it's also a great ally for fighting yellowing teeth as it gives them a healthier appearance. It bleaches and cleans, helping you maintain a beautiful and bright smile.

Another good product to give you healthier white teeth and a beautiful appearance is apple cider vinegar. Due to its acidity, it is important not to use it on a regular basis as it could be corrosive to the teeth and cause damage to the tooth enamel. It is for this reason that we recommend that you do not perform the following treatment more than 2 times a week.

To perform the treatment, you must first dilute the amount of apple cider vinegar that you will be using in triple the amount of water. Afterwards, mix it with your usual toothpaste and brush your teeth for two minutes or so.

There are fruits like strawberries and bananas which contain salicylic acid, which fights tartar build-up and it provides a whiter shade, cleaning the teeth without damaging the enamel.

The banana peel also contains this product, so after brushing your teeth, you can rub the skin over your teeth gently for about 3 minutes.
