Now, no objection on whatever your personal preference may be. Besides, no one enjoys seeing yellow teeth anyway. However, most whitening products use chemicals in their formula as bleaching agents. These bleaching agents may give you temporary whitening but in the long run it&#8217;s basically eroding your enamel. And we all know what happens from down there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_17 counter-hierarchy counter-decimal ez-toc-grey\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#so_why_do_your_teeth_look_yellow_in_the_first_place\" title=\"So why do your teeth look yellow in the first place?\">So why do your teeth look yellow in the first place?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#get_rid_of_yellow_teeth_in_simple_natural_ways\" title=\"Get rid of Yellow Teeth in simple natural ways!\">Get rid of Yellow Teeth in simple natural ways!<\/a><ul class=\"ez-toc-list-level-3\"><li class=\"ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#practice_oil_pulling\" title=\"Practice Oil Pulling\">Practice Oil Pulling<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#use_baking_soda\" title=\"Use Baking Soda\">Use Baking Soda<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#use_hydrogen_peroxide\" title=\"Use hydrogen peroxide\">Use hydrogen peroxide<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#get_a_teeth_whitening_procedure_done_by_a_dental_expert\" title=\"Get a Teeth Whitening Procedure Done by a Dental Expert \">Get a Teeth Whitening Procedure Done by a Dental Expert <\/a><ul class=\"ez-toc-list-level-3\"><li class=\"ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#watch_what_we_eat\" title=\"Watch what we eat\">Watch what we eat<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#start_with_flossing\" title=\"Start with Flossing\">Start with Flossing<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-simple-and-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth\/#bottom_line\" title=\"Bottom Line\">Bottom Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"so_why_do_your_teeth_look_yellow_in_the_first_place\"><\/span><strong>So why do your teeth look yellow in the first place?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If plaque buildup is not the case, then it\u2019s often due to a particular food you eat. Certain foods can stain your enamel, as the outermost layer of your teeth. This type of discoloration can usually be treated with a little more focused cleaning. What\u2019s best is that you can use natural ways to clean teeth to get instant whitening of teeth enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in some cases teeth look yellow as the upper enamel erodes away and reveals dentin underneath. Dentin is naturally yellow bony tissue that is present just under the enamel. Even if you are not sure whether it\u2019s the enamel or dentin, here are simple natural ways to whiten your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"get_rid_of_yellow_teeth_in_simple_natural_ways\"><\/span><strong>Get rid of Yellow Teeth in simple natural ways!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"practice_oil_pulling\"><\/span><strong>Practice Oil Pulling<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oil pulling is an ancient Indian practice where people used oil to improve their oral health. They believed the practice of oil pulling removes harmful toxins from the body. Oil pulling involves using light weight oil to gargle your mouth with. Traditionally it was believed that all the harmful bacteria was killed in the process and prevented the buildup of harmful bacteria in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best choice for such practice is a sunflower, sesame and coconut oil. All you have to do is take a spoonful of oil and just swish it around in your mouth. Do this for a couple of minutes every day and you\u2019ll find brightened teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Side Note:<\/strong> <em>You may not like the taste of it and might find this entire process to be funny but though no solid research is involved it is believed to help gut health and of course whiten your teeth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"use_baking_soda\"><\/span><strong>Use Baking Soda<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking soda never gets old! As long as I remember baking soda has been the teeth savior for any oral activity. This is because baking soda has natural whitening properties. This is also one of the many reasons why many toothpaste commercials make sure they advertise their product with baking soda. It is mildly abrasive and helps scrubs always any plaque on the surface of your enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking soda also creates an alkaline environment in your mouth, which in turn prevents bacteria to flourish in your mouth. Now as tempting as it may seem like, baking soda does not work overnight. To use baking soda, mix 1 teaspoon of soda with 2 spoons of water and brush your teeth with it. Do this a few times a week for a fresh brightened smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"use_hydrogen_peroxide\"><\/span><strong>Use hydrogen peroxide<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another natural bleaching agent hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria and has been used as a disinfectant for years. This is why several toothpastes have a significant concentration of hydrogen peroxide in their composition. Considerable studies have found the use of hydrogen peroxide in the toothpaste to give whiter teeth over the use of six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Look for toothpaste with at least 3% of hydrogen peroxide in its formula. If you choose to do a home mixture on your own, make sure you limit it to a few times a week as overuse can certainly damage your enamel.|<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"get_a_teeth_whitening_procedure_done_by_a_dental_expert\"><\/span>Get a Teeth Whitening Procedure Done by a Dental Expert<br><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Whiten Teeth at Home - Peelay danton ko safed karnay ka tarika - Teeth Whitening\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PehiMoiUWD8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"watch_what_we_eat\"><\/span><strong>Watch what we eat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As clich\u00e9 as it will sound, certain foods have a lot of impact on the natural whiteness of your teeth.

Regular flossing when coupled with brushing can actually lead to not only good teeth but also good gum and gut health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bottom_line\"><\/span><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several natural methods and \u2018myths\u2019 to whiten your teeth.
