4 Easy (and Cheap) Ways to Whiten Your Teeth Naturally

It’s no secret we’re obsessed with this orange-tinted spice for its numerous health benefits, but did you know it can also whiten your smile? Its slightly abrasive texture is similar to baking soda, plus it has added anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits to promote overall oral health. Just mix it with coconut oil, brush it on and let it sit on your teeth for a few minutes before rinsing.

We all know various foods can stain our chompers (we still love you, Merlot), but did you know some can help do the opposite? Consuming white cheese (with all its calcium and protein) can help fortify and protect your enamel. So pass the Brie, please.

Celery is high in cellulose (a strong fiber found in plants), so it acts like a natural abrasive to scrub your teeth. Just think of it as nature’s toothbrush; it helps get rid of the plaque and leftover food particles that can cause staining.
