Having clarified this, let's see how to whiten yellow teeth. Aside from drastic solutions, such as laser whitening which can only be done in a doctor's office, there are many other do-it-yourself solutions that can give more than satisfactory results. Without a shadow of a doubt, the first ally to have a dazzling smile is baking soda .

The only recommendation: it should be used sparingly and only from time to time because it can damage tooth enamel. Use it mixed with water to rinse or on the toothbrush, gently massaging the affected areas.

Yellow teeth: natural remedies

Another useful natural remedy is sage , which should be rubbed on the teeth. This solution not only fights yellow or stained teeth, but also bad breath. Also effective is malic acid , which is obtained from the pulp of strawberries or apples. It can be applied directly to the affected area, massaging gently. Alternatively, opt for lemon juice , to be used to gargle, or its peel or orange peel, to be rubbed directly on the teeth.

One last recommendation is a must. Against the yellowing of the teeth, limit the consumption of: coffee , red wine, tea, carbonated drinks and drinks with dyes, licorice, candies and anything that can alter the enamel of the teeth. The ban on smoking is, of course, included in the rules.
