Many dream of healthy and beautiful teeth, but few people dare to try chemical whitening.
We at Bright Side have found several procedures you can perform at home that won’t damage your enamel or do you any harm at all. Of course, these tricks are not a substitute for regular visits to the dentist. But if you follow this advice on a regular basis you’ll see your teeth lighten up a few tones, while your gums will become healthier.

DIY whitening toothpaste
Mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric with the
same amount of clear coconut oil and 2-3 drops of mint oil. Use this mix
as you would regular toothpaste — it will take care of your enamel,
whiten your teeth, and freshen your breath. See detailed instructions here.
Tea tree oil
If you dilute 5 drops of 100% tea
tree oil in half a glass of water and rinse your mouth with it every day
after brushing your teeth, you’ll see the results in just a couple
of weeks. To make the effect even more striking, clean your teeth
additionally with a drop of oil once or twice a week, though not more
often.
Strawberry paste
Take a fresh strawberry, and crush
it with a spoon. Mix it with the finest sea salt you can find (try
grinding it in a coffee grinder), put the resulting paste
on a toothbrush, and lightly massage your teeth for a few minutes. Then
rinse your mouth thoroughly. To protect your enamel, do this no more
often than once every 2 weeks.
Coconut oil
Apply some oil to your teeth before
brushing them, leave it there for 15-20 minutes, then thoroughly brush
with your toothpaste. Repeat this 2 or 3 times a week.
Activated charcoal mask
Mix ground charcoal with water
to get a sour-cream texture, then carefully apply it to your teeth.
Leave it there for 2 minutes, and rinse your mouth thoroughly. After
that, brush your teeth. Repeat this once or twice a week.
Banana peel whitener
Banana peel contains substances that
dissolve dental plaque and help maintain the perfect color of your
teeth. Rub the inside of the peel into your teeth from both sides, and
wait for 5-7 minutes. Then brush your teeth and rinse your mouth. Repeat
as often as you like.
Lemon mouthwash
This DIY mouthwash will help you whiten
your teeth gradually and keep your breath fresh. Take 3 parts lemon
juice and 1 part fine salt, mix them together, and rinse your mouth
thoroughly after brushing your teeth. Use this method 2 or 3 times
a week.
Warning: don’t use this mouthwash if you have inflammations in your mouth.
Basil leaves
Grind fresh basil leaves to make
a puree, and use it regularly instead of your ordinary toothpaste
to whiten your teeth and make them healthier. You can also apply it for
5-10 minutes before brushing your teeth as usual.
Aloe vera
To obtain a truly Hollywood smile,
use fresh aloe vera juice or buy some natural gel made from this plant.
Rub some into your teeth, massage them with a toothbrush, and rinse
thoroughly. You can do this after each brushing, and after a couple
of weeks your smile will be bright and sparkling white.
