3. Strawberry Paste
Like turmeric, berries are known for staining—but strawberries are different. They contain citric and malic acids, which are great at removing surface stains. Mash one strawberry with half a teaspoon of baking soda to form a paste. Apply it to your teeth, let it sit for five minutes, then rinse. You’ll be left with a cleaner-looking smile.
4. Hydrogen Peroxide
This is a stronger option—it’s actually the active ingredient in many bleaching products, so use it carefully. A small amount can be added to homemade toothpaste to help whiten teeth. Here’s a simple recipe:
4 tablespoons baking soda
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons hydrogen peroxide
10 drops cinnamon oil
10 drops clove oil
A few drops of stevia (optional, for taste)
