Brilio.net - Naturally, teeth have an ivory white color. However, various factors can cause teeth to change color to yellowish. This condition often reduces self-confidence, especially when smiling. Some of the main causes of tooth discoloration include smoking habits, excessive consumption of tea and coffee, improper brushing techniques, and rarely maintaining oral hygiene.
In addition to bad habits, age factors also contribute to tooth discoloration. As we age, the protective layer of enamel on the teeth becomes thinner, making the yellow dentin layer underneath more visible. This can be exacerbated by bad breath, making a person feel uncomfortable.
To overcome yellow stains on teeth , many people choose to use natural ingredients. One of the unique ways is as shared by the TikTok account @toprecipes.1 on September 17, 2023. In his upload, he uses garlic as the main ingredient, which is combined with salt, lemon juice, and toothpaste.
"Whiten your yellow teeth instantly," wrote the account in the video caption, as reported by briliobeauty.net , Thursday (16/1).

Garlic contains allicin compounds that have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. This content is effective in killing germs that cause yellow stains on teeth, which often come from food residue that is not completely removed when cleaning the mouth.
In addition to garlic, salt, which is usually used as a flavoring in cooking, can also be used to help whiten teeth. Salt contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and fluoride, which play a role in maintaining dental health and helping teeth look whiter.
Meanwhile, lemons are known for their high acid content. This acid is able to erode bacteria that cause yellow teeth and helps clean stains naturally. In addition, lemons have a pH that helps maintain oral and dental health, as well as antibacterial content that is effective in killing bacteria that cause yellow stains.
With this combination of natural ingredients, yellow stains on teeth can be minimized naturally and safely, without using excessive chemicals.
