Lime has a sour taste which is believed to be able to whiten yellow teeth. The acid or vitamin C content in this fruit can erode the bacteria that cause yellow teeth. Its acidic pH content is also effective in maintaining oral and dental health, you know. Not only that, lime can also freshen breath and prevent unpleasant breath odor.

Salt can increase the pH balance in the mouth so that it remains alkaline, making it effective in preventing the growth of bacteria in the mouth. Salt is also effective at erasing yellowish stains on the surface of the teeth, which can cause plaque and the appearance of yellow teeth. This is thanks to its rough and abrasive texture.

So, to prevent your teeth from turning yellow, you need to brush your teeth regularly every morning and evening before going to bed. Apart from that, you can also undergo dental care at the dentist, such as scaling and whitening treatments.
