Learn how to whiten your teeth with turmeric, step by step. I've added a free printable with the step by step teeth whitening process in my free resource library. You can get the password to this list at the bottom of this post.
Cost of Teeth Whitening
Even cheap over the counter teeth whitening kits are 46 times more expensive than your DIY teeth whitening kit. WhiteLabs Professional At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit=$1.40 a treatment vs. turmeric powder $0.03 a treatment.
You're only supposed to use two series of treatments a year, no more. If you use 20 turmeric treatments a year=two teeth whitening kits per year, you will save $27.40 on an at-home kit or $649.40 for an in-office treatment.
Health risks of chemical teeth whitening
Chemical teeth whitening treatments can cause genotoxic effects. When you bleach too often, it also wears away your enamel and increases tooth sensitivity. The worst part is that it actually makes your teeth more yellow.
Turmeric health benefits
Luckily, turmeric has many health benefits and won't cause the side effects of professional teeth whitening treatments, so you can use treatments as often as you want to. Turmeric can help reduce gingivitis and dental plaque. It is also helpful for dealing with dental pain, along with several other dental problems.
How to whiten your teeth with turmeric
Follow the steps from Mommypotamus, which are as follows:
1."Wet your toothbrush and then dip it in 1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder. Brush teeth as normal, but instead of rinsing when you’re done, allow the turmeric to sit on your teeth for 3-5 minutes so it can do its magic."
2. "Spit and rinse thoroughly, then follow with a second brushing using your regular tooth powder/toothpaste. If you notice any yellow around the corners of your mouth, wash with soap and it will rinse away. Likewise, if any turmeric powder is left on your teeth or gums it will cause a slight yellow tint, but when the turmeric is fully rinsed away you should notice a brighter, whiter smile."
Be sure to clean your sink right away to prevent staining. Try the turmeric treatment for about 10 days to get maximum results, or you can repeat daily as part of good oral health, without worrying about the same side effects as chemical teeth whitening.
That is Why You Should Switch to Natural Tooth Whitening
DIY natural teeth whitening is cheaper and healthier than chemical teeth whitening. Natural teeth whitening savings=2 at-home treatments a year per person or 1 in-office treatment, $27.40-$649.40 a year per person. You will avoid health risks and have a much healthier and whiter smile.

I've heard so many benefits of turmeric! Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteHow can something that people use to color foods yellow make yellow teeth whiter? I'm intrigued! #HearthAndSoul
ReplyDeleteHow this works exactly, is a mystery to me Jean! While turmeric can stain other things and work as a dye, it works wonders to make teeth whitener!
ReplyDeleteI've been using peroxide, but it doesn't seem to do a lot. Thanks for the tip! Found you on The Simple Homestead hop :)
