called dentin. Once, you have converted your yellow teeth into white ones, you should take utmost
care to not to get them yellow again. Whitening the teeth again and again may lead them to
become translucent or even blue. So preserve your teeth so that you may smile with confidence at
every time! Here are some proven and very effective home remedies to whiten your yellow teeth.
Take help of these remedies and then do take good care of them so that you do not need to opt for

1. Use basil in various ways and say good bye to yellow teeth Basil herb is generally good for
your overall health. Whats interesting is that they are also good for having healthy white teeth.
Using basil for oral care not only gives your yellow teeth the much needed sparkling but also
protect them against many dental problems like pyorrhea or the bleeding of gums. There are many
ways in which Ayurveda suggests using basil leaves for your yellow teeth. Here are some of them.
Ways to use basil for yellow teeth Homemade basil tooth powder Take fresh basil leaves and leave
them in shade to dry them out. Once the basil leaves get fully dried, grind them to get a powder
out of them. Use this powder to brush your teeth. You can use your fingers to rub your teeth with
this basil powder or can even mix the powder with your regular tooth paste and use it that way.
Basil- orange peel mask for teeth You will need:
Fresh basil leaves- 7-8 Powder of dried orange peel- 2 tsp

the crushed basil leaves and mix well. Apply this paste on your teeth. Leave for 15-20 minutes.

Basil- mustard oil tooth paste You will need:
Basil leaves- 8-10 Mustard oil- -1 tsp
Directions:
Crush the basil leaves to get its paste. Mix the basil paste with mustard oil well. Use this as your
toothpaste to get white teeth.
2. Use certain tree twigs to whiten your teeth This is an age old tradition still followed in some
parts of India and its neighboring countries. Ayurveda speaks of certain trees that have certain
astringent and other properties that can give you white teeth provided you use them regularly. The
twigs of these trees are used for brushing the teeth. And how? You have to take a tender (not very
soft and not too hard) twig of the tree from its branch. This should be of the length of a standard
toothbrush. Wash this twig well with clean water. Now holding one end of the twig with your
hands, put the other end of the twig in your mouth and chew it slowly. In a few minutes, the end of
the twig that you are chewing will get scattered and the fibers would come out of it. If you take it
out of your mouth, you will see that it looks like an artists brush, though a rough one. This is
your natural tooth brush. Use this fibrous end of the twig to brush your teeth for at least 15-20
minutes. Now discard this twig and use a fresh one the next time. Now the big question is what
trees to look for to get these twigs? Here is the list of such trees.
Babool tree (Acacia Arabica)- Babul tree is one of the most tooth friendly tree. Its extract is used
in many herbal toothpastes also that are commercially available in the market. The tannin present
in the twigs of babul tree is the component that will make your yellow teeth whiter. Banyan tree
(Ficus religiosa)- The natural astringent present in the roots of banyan tree- the ones that hang in
the air from above the trees top- make your teeth white like pearls. Neem or Margosa
(Azadirachtha indica)-Not only astringent, neem tree twigs also have antiseptic properties that can
treat bad breath and also cure dental caries and cavities along with making your teeth white.
3.Learn and do oil pulling to get pearly white teeth in bonus Yes, its a perk- the white teethwhen you orally pull oil! Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic technique to achieve overall good health and
for curing not one or two but a variety of illnesses including joint pain, arthritis, migraine, sinus

How to do oil pulling? You will need: A spoonful of any oil (cold-pressed, organic oil). You may
bleaching effect on your teeth. So, use strawberries, tomatoes, amla (gooseberry), orange and the
most effective lemon to bleach your teeth and get that sparkling whiteness. Mash them, rub them,
take out their juice, whatever you do, just get them in contact with your yellow teeth.
Cut a strawberry in two pieces. Take a half of it and sprinkle a little baking soda on to it. Rub your
teeth with this. You may avoid using baking soda and rub with plain strawberry instead. The malic
acid in strawberry with its astringent properties will give your pearly teeth. Mash the strawberries

water. Take a tsp of lemon juice and mix it with 1 tsp of water. Brush teeth with it. Wash with
water and then brush with your regular toothpaste. Never use lemon juice undiluted. Always dilute
it with water before applying it to your teeth. It high acid content of lemon can seriously damage
your toot enamel and the calcium in it. Dont use lemon more than twice a week if you want to
