Who doesn’t like beautiful and white teeth? Clean teeth make the smile on the face look more beautiful, but due to some small carelessness, our teeth often turn yellow, due to which we sometimes have to face embarrassment. In such situations, people resort to expensive toothpaste, whitening kits or dental treatment, but it is not necessary to spend money every time.

A simple thing present in your kitchen can remove the yellowness of teeth. When used properly, it can prove helpful in giving natural shine to your smile.

How to use banana peel?

You can use banana peel to clean teeth and remove yellowness.

• First of all, take a fresh banana and remove its peel.


• Lightly rub the soft inner part of the peel on the teeth.


• Massage all over the teeth for about 1-2 minutes.


• After this, leave it like this for 5 minutes, so that the elements present in the peel can show their effect.


• Finally, clean the teeth with toothbrush and water.


• Do not do this process more than 2–3 times a week.

How is banana peel beneficial for teeth?

Potassium, magnesium and some natural enzymes are found in banana peel, which can help in removing light dirt accumulated on the upper surface of the teeth. It has a mild abrasive effect, due to which superficial stains may become less visible for some time. This is a chemical-free method. Therefore this method is safe even for sensitive teeth. Keep in mind that this is not an “instant whitening” or medical treatment option, but a home remedy to help in light cleaning.

What things should be kept in mind to keep teeth clean?

• Brush properly at least twice a day.


• Stay away from things like too much sugar, tea, coffee and tobacco, as they increase the blemishes.


• Change toothbrush every 3–4 months.


• Use floss or mouthwash to clean between the teeth.


• Get your dental checkup done from time to time.
