DIY toothpaste:by mixing these two foods, you will very quickly find much whiter teeth, find out which ones!

A pretty smile is a charming asset that leaves few people indifferent, and especially not the French according to a survey:a majority of them believe that it is linked to success. Conversely, having yellow teeth is considered the worst fault of a smile, and if we already know the ingredients that contribute to having ultra bright teeth, a new technique advocated by a very influential blogger is likely to change gives it. Farah Dhukai, a blogger from South Asia, shared with her approximately 6.9 million Instagram followers a trick that “gets white teeth instantly” thanks to just two ingredients:turmeric and coconut oil.

White teeth:turmeric, the ideal ally for regaining an ultra-bright smile!

The method is simple:just add a tablespoon of coconut oil to a (large) pinch of turmeric. The mixture, pasty (and yellow, which is rather ironic), is applied directly to the teeth as one would with any toothpaste. We leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing, and "tadaaa", the sparkling smile appears! It is recommended to repeat the operation several times a week to obtain an even more satisfying result.

So why does it work? Turmeric, a medicinal plant, helps eliminate plaque that is causing yellow teeth , and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties generally include many oral health benefits (so despite what it sounds like, it doesn't stain teeth at all).

As for coconut oil, it is rich in lauric acid, which helps reduce the number of bacteria and yeasts most often responsible for cavities and dental plaque. Indeed, it captures the fat-soluble bacteria that hide between the teeth and that traditional toothpastes or mouthwashes cannot eliminate. So many properties that allow you to quickly find whiter, shinier teeth and healthier gums.
