Without expensive bleaching, here's a trick to overcome yellow teeth using toothpaste mixed with 3 kitchen ingredients

To overcome yellow teeth, many people choose teeth whitening or teeth bleaching procedures.

Brilio.net - Clean white teeth are often considered a symbol of health and beauty. However, over time, many factors can cause teeth to turn yellow, such as smoking habits, consumption of certain foods and drinks, or lack of proper dental care.

To overcome yellow teeth , many people choose teeth whitening or teeth bleaching procedures. Bleaching is a teeth whitening process using special chemicals containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which can remove stains and restore teeth to a whiter color.

This procedure can be done in a dental clinic under professional supervision or using over-the-counter teeth whitening products. However, although very effective, the bleaching procedure often requires a lot of money. This process in a dental clinic can cost from hundreds of thousands to millions of rupiah, depending on the place and type of treatment performed.

This high cost is often the main consideration for many people who want to do teeth whitening. In addition, although the results of bleaching can provide significant changes, this procedure can also cause some side effects such as temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.

Another solution, you can also use natural ingredients with results that are no less effective than teeth bleaching. As shared by a TikTok user with the account name @lei.nisha2.

Cinnamon powder is believed to whiten yellow teeth due to its antibacterial and mild abrasive properties. Cinnamon contains compounds such as cinnamaldehyde which have antimicrobial properties, to help reduce the growth of bacteria in the mouth and maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Additionally, the mild abrasive properties of cinnamon powder can help remove surface stains on teeth, such as stains from dark-colored foods or drinks, without damaging tooth enamel.

Lemon can overcome yellow teeth thanks to its high citric acid content, which functions as a natural whitening agent. Citric acid has the ability to erode stains on the surface of the teeth and helps remove plaque that sticks, thus providing a whitening effect on the teeth.

Baking soda can whiten yellow teeth thanks to its mild abrasive properties, which allow it to scrape away surface stains on teeth without damaging the enamel. When used as a toothpaste, baking soda works by cleaning plaque and lifting away food or drink particles that cause stains on teeth.

Additionally, baking soda has alkaline properties that can neutralize acids in the mouth, which helps maintain pH balance and prevents plaque formation that can lead to tooth discoloration.
