From teeth bleaching to veneers, creating a healthy oral routine may seem quite costly, but, it doesn’t have to be.
Your smile is one of the first things people notice on you. Your appearance and oral hygiene shows a lot about your presentation and how much importance you put into your hygiene and appearance.

Before we proceed, it is important to note,👇like everything in life👇
Consistency is key
The listed methods may not produce overnight results on everyone.
To make it easy, I’m going in order of how I use the products and methods.
HOW TO ACHIEVE WHITE TEETH AND FRESH BREATH
1. OIL PULLING WITH COCONUT OIL
Did you know:
Streptococcus mutans is the main bacteria found in our mouth and cause of bad breath, tooth decay and the buildup of plaque.
WHAT IS OIL PULLING
Oil pulling or oil cleansing is the use of oils (I use mainly coconut oil – due to its taste) to draw out toxins and harmful bacteria from the body and skin.
PS – you can use olive but trust me the taste isn’t that comforting.
- Not only for its taste, coconut oil contains anti fungal, anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties, as a result, it is highly used in this process as it helps lift and rid bacteria.
- Beneath the gum line lies built up plaque which isn’t visible with the eyes. This can cause a major case of gum inflammation and infection and even bleeding. Incorporating oil pulling in your oral hygiene decreases this risk by getting under the gum line and softening and attaching itself to any waste product and pushing it out.
TIP – On your next dental visit, do ensure your dentist clean beneath your gum line.
I made an entire post explaining a detailed how and why I use coconut oil to oil pull in my practice of good oral hygiene.

2. ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
This is my star ingredient in naturally achieving whiter teeth.
Important disclaimer :
Bar-B-Que charcoal and Activated Coconut Shell Charcoal are different in terms of the ingredients it is comprised of. Bar-B-Que charcoal IS NOT made for internal or external use. Please don’t say NATURALLY FREE didn’t inform you.
Activated charcoal is used for its cleansing properties and ability to draw out toxins from the body. Beneficial for internal and external use.
The finely milled powder attaches itself to the plaque and toxins on the surface, between the teeth, under the gums and on the tongue whilst quoting the teeth to remove stains and discoloration. Consequently, revealing a brighter stain free set of teeth after scrubbing.
This method of teeth whitening is a mild yet effective process you will love to adopt.
HOW TO USE CHARCOAL TO WHITEN TEETH and REMOVE PLAQUE
- This is done daily. Morning/night.
I prefer using my natural teeth whitening treatments at night, right before bed as it prevents anything eaten afterwards from staining my teeth and allow the charcoal to do its work.
- Simply sprinkle a pinch size onto your toothbrush (ie beneath/over the toothpaste) and proceed to scrub your teeth and tongue allowing the powder to dissolve and adhere to the toxins, plaque and stains on my teeth.

3. BAKING SODA
There are endless uses for this staple household product and I surely make use of them.
One of it being my DIY NON TOXIC LAUNDRY DETERGENT

🌱 BAKING SODA to Remove Sweet Stains and Foul Odor 🌱
- Baking soda is a powerful ingredient used to remove stains on the teeth and fabric. From coffee, tea to wine stains.
- It is also a natural deodorizer which eliminates pungent odor resulting in a fresher breath
- Due to its natural whitening and cleansing properties, it’s no surprise there are countless toothpaste on the market containing BAKING SODA which aids in whitening the teeth
This is hands down the remedy passed down from generation to generation.
HOW TO USE BAKING SODA TO NATURALLY WHITEN TEETH
PS – from my experiences, this is not the most gentle of the methods so you’ll want to limit your frequency.
The fine grains and scrubbing action helps buff away discoloration and plaque.
- Baking soda may cause or increase teeth and gum sensitivity.
- Use once/twice per week, preferably at night time
- Like the charcoal, sprinkle a pinch size amount onto toothbrush
- Gently scrub and proceed to regular brushing
Hope these methods serve you well.
In concluding, it is super easy for someone to make a first impression assumption of you just by you oral hygiene. From the color of your teeth, the scent of your breath, the condition of your gums to the visibility of plaque.
Why not leave them with a long lasting positive impression by adopting my above methods to naturally brighten your smile?
When your teeth and tongue is free from plaque, it lessens your chances of cavities, gingivitis and bad breath.
