Yellow Teeth? This Secret Homemade Hack Will Make Them Sparkling White!

A white, sparkling smile can boost your personality as well as the confidence level. But harmful habits such as smoking tobacco, chewing tobacco, excessive tea or coffee consumption, and lack of awareness in dental care can yellow your teeth by making them yellow or brownish after a couple of years. Don't panic! No costly treatments are needed to whiten your white pearly white. One such simple home remedy using alum (fitkari) can easily eliminate plaque, tartar, and stains, giving you whiter teeth naturally without burning a hole in your pocket.


There are numerous reasons for tooth color change, including: Excessive use of tobacco, betel nut, or gutkha Excessive consumption of coffee, tea, or soda Lack of good oral hygiene due to plaque and tartar formation Changes that occur due to aging and cause enamel thinning Food intake with artificial color These build up over time and make gums weak, cause halitosis, and even cavities. Luckily, with a simple homemade alum toothpaste, you can get your teeth whitened again and lead a healthier oral life too.



You may have used lemon, herbal sticks, or chemical toothpaste to clean your teeth. Alum is a natural substance, though, which gives even better results. It has been proved through research that alum contains very effective antibacterial and anti-plaque constituents which do not allow tartar buildup while providing extended oral hygiene.

Makes gums strong: It reduces gum inflammation and averts gum diseases such as gingivitis and pyorrhea.
Averts cavities: Regular use of alum-based powder prevents teeth from decaying.
