We all want pearly white teeth for that picture perfect smile. ROSHANI DEVI shares simple and easy to follow home remedies that will not only keep them strong but alsodisease-free

All of us want to get rid of yellow teeth for that perfect smile. One can go to a dentist but that can prove to be costly. When we were children, my mother would ask us to use a few home ingredients that were readily available.

Most homes have baking soda and yes, it can be used for almost anything — from cleaning toilets to getting rid of that stain in your favourite dress or shirt to even whitening the teeth.

Take two-four teaspoons of baking soda and add lemon juice  to make a paste. Depending on the amount of baking soda, the added liquid will differ. Apply a liberal amount onto the toothbrush and brush teeth for two minutes. Repeat the process a few times a week or until the desired results are achieved.

Believe it or not rinsing the mouth with coconut oil for whitening is ageold. Prior to brushing your teeth, use a spoon to scoop an appropriate amount of coconut oil up. Take one-and-a-half tablespoon of coconut oil and put it into your mouth. Like the mouthwash, swish the liquid around for 10-15 minutes. Spit out the oil and then brush teeth. Repeat as necessary.
