Brilio.net - Dental and mouth problems can really disturb a person's comfort and appearance. One of the most frequently experienced is yellow teeth. Not without reason, yellow teeth can appear due to several factors, such as the habit of consuming dark colored food or drinks, being lazy about brushing your teeth, smoking, the effects of aging, and the buildup of plaque and tartar.
If yellow teeth are not treated immediately, they will gradually become a crust that is difficult to remove. Not only that, this condition is usually accompanied by other disorders, such as bad breath, caries and gum disease.
If left unchecked, this condition can cause more severe tooth damage . Therefore, you need to maintain cleanliness and care for your dental health by brushing your teeth diligently. The basic way to care for your teeth that you can do to prevent yellow teeth is to brush your teeth twice a day, after eating and before sleeping.
You can choose whitening toothpaste or make your own toothpaste, using natural ingredients that are effective for whitening teeth. As shared by one TikTok user with the account name @reneeangelique, who uses body warming spices to whiten teeth.

Contains coconut oil to whiten yellow teeth.
Reporting from Healthline, the benefits of coconut oil for maintaining healthy teeth and mouth are known as oil pulling. The lauric acid content in coconut oil is a type of fatty acid that is most effective at killing bacteria compared to other types of acid.
This natural oil may not be used to whiten teeth directly. However, coconut oil has benefits as a bacteria killer and prevents cavities. This means that coconut oil can also prevent tooth discoloration that accompanies this condition.
The benefits of baking soda for erasing yellow stains on teeth.
Baking soda has natural ingredients that can whiten teeth and remove yellowish stains on the surface of teeth. Apart from whitening teeth, baking soda is also effective in preventing the growth of bacteria in the mouth. This baking agent has mild abrasive properties so it can remove stains on the surface of teeth.
Ginger is effective in preventing yellow teeth.
Ginger is also an effective natural ingredient for treating yellow teeth. The reason is that this spice has antibacterial properties which can also clean yellow stains on the surface of the teeth. Reporting from the Daily Mail, the chemicals that give ginger a spicy taste will stimulate enzymes in the mouth to break down substances that make teeth yellow and cause bad breath.
