★Ingredients
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
A few drops of peppermint oil (optional, for freshness)
★Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the turmeric powder and coconut oil. If you’d like a fresher taste, add a few drops of peppermint oil.
- Brush with the paste: Dip your toothbrush into the mixture and brush your teeth for 2-3 minutes, just like you would with regular toothpaste.
- Rinse well: After brushing, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. You may need to brush your teeth again with regular toothpaste to remove any yellow residue.
- Repeat: Use this natural remedy 2-3 times a week for noticeable results.
Turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can help with oral health, and coconut oil helps remove stains. Be mindful that turmeric can temporarily stain your toothbrush, but it should wash off.
