Your smile is often the first thing that others notice about you.

While a set of sparkling white teeth can make anyone appear more attractive and healthier, discolored teeth can seriously hamper a person’s self-confidence. People with stained or yellow teeth may even feel too conscious or embarrassed to smile in public.

Teeth tend to lose their color and shine as a person grows older. In addition to this, there are several other factors that can cause yellow or stained teeth.

What Causes Yellow Teeth?

Yellow teeth can be a result of:

  • Thinning tooth enamel due to aging
  • Hereditary factors
  • Dry mouth
  • Breathing through the mouth (due to blocked nasal passages)
  • Excessive fluoride intake
  • Poor dental hygiene
  • Excessive consumption of beverages like wine, tea, soda, and coffee
  • Certain food items
  • Certain diseases
  • Tobacco and cigarettes[1]
  • Trauma or accidents that impact the teeth

Discoloration of the teeth may also occur due to additional factors such as:

  • High doses of antibiotics
  • Climatic conditions
  • Infection
  • Improper metabolism

Natural Treatment Options for Yellow Teeth

Thankfully, there are several other effective and safe methods to get rid of stained and discolored teeth. These easy-to-follow home remedies can help restore your “million-dollar smile.”

Here are some ways to whiten your teeth naturally.

1. Brush Your Teeth with Baking Soda

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, boasts natural whitening properties and is a popular ingredient in commercial toothpaste.

Being mildly abrasive in nature, it helps scrub away surface stains and plaque accumulated on the teeth.

Plaque buildup can contribute to several oral health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease.

A review published in the Journal of Clinical Dentistry found that toothpaste containing baking soda removed plaque from teeth more effectively than toothpaste without baking soda[3]

Baking soda also facilitates plaque removal by neutralizing acids produced by plaque-causing bacteria.

  • Mix ¼ teaspoon of baking soda with a little toothpaste. Brush your teeth with this gritty mixture, and then rinse with warm water. Use this remedy once or twice a week.
  • Alternatively, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 2 teaspoons of water. Brush your teeth with the paste. Do this a few times a week.
Note: Excess use of baking soda can strip your teeth of its natural protective enamel. Do not use it for more than a few weeks.

2. Mouthwash with Hydrogen Peroxide Solution

When it comes to whitening your teeth the natural way, the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen peroxide is a natural bleaching agent. It also helps in eliminating the bacteria in your mouth, thus preventing bad breath.

whiten teeth with hydrogen peroxide

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Dentistry found that brushing with commercial toothpaste containing baking soda and peroxide twice a day led to 62% whiter teeth in 6 weeks.[4]

Another study published in the Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology highlights the efficacy of a hydrogen peroxide mouthwash in removing stains and plaque.[5]

  • Mix 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon of water. Use this solution as a mouthwash twice daily.
  • Alternatively, combine 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Gently brush your teeth with this mixture a few times a week for 2 or 3 weeks.
Note: Overuse of hydrogen peroxide may erode your tooth enamel. Do not use these remedies more often than recommended.

3. Try Oil Pulling with Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is an excellent ingredient for the maintenance of oral health. Using it for oil pulling will help whiten and brighten your teeth.

Coconut oil is high in lauric acid, which is known for its ability to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria present in the mouth. These bacteria can lead to plaque formation and other oral issues that may cause a yellow tinge on your teeth.

oil pulling to whiten your teeth

A study published in the Nigerian Medical Journal reports that oil pulling using coconut oil could be an effective adjuvant procedure in decreasing plaque formation and plaque-induced gingivitis.[6]

A 2016 study published in the Journal of Contemporary Dental Hygiene found that edible oil pulling therapy is natural and safe and has no side effects, and it can be considered as a preventive home care practice to maintain oral hygiene.[7]

  1. Put 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin coconut oil in your mouth.
  2. Swish it around in your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not gargle.
  3. Spit out the milky solution.
  4. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
  5. Brush your teeth.
  6. Do this once daily in the morning before you eat.

4. Reap the Benefits of Holy Basil

The leaves of holy basil have whitening properties and can also help in protecting your teeth from problems such as periodontitis (pyorrhea), an advanced form of periodontal disease.

holy basil

A 2014 study published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry found that holy basil mouthwash has an antiplaque effect and is effective against plaque-forming bacterial strains. It can potentially be used as an antiplaque mouthwash with prophylactic benefits.[8]

  • Place a few holy basil leaves in the sun for a few hours. Grind the dried leaves into a powder. Mix the powder with your regular toothpaste and use this mixture to brush your teeth.
  • Another option is to make a paste of holy basil leaves and mustard oil and use it to clean your teeth.

5. Orange Peel can be Beneficial

This is one of the most popular natural remedies to whiten yellow teeth. The acidic property of orange peel makes it a powerful bleaching agent. This helps reduce the yellow tinge on your teeth.

Moreover, orange peel contains limonene, which makes it highly effective in removing teeth staining, especially stains caused by smoking.

orange peel to remove stains on teeth

A study that can be found in the American Journal of Dentistry states that toothpaste containing d-limonene was significantly effective in reducing smoking stains on teeth and d-limonene alone inhibited the development of further smoking stains.[9]

  1. Rub a long strip of orange peel over your teeth for 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  3. Repeat this remedy twice daily, until you are satisfied with the results.

6. Partake Apples

Eating a crunchy apple can help make your teeth whiter by scrubbing them like a toothbrush.

According to a study that can be found in the Insisiva Dental Journal (2012), apple juice possesses the ability to whiten the surface of the tooth enamel that changed color due to immersion in coffee solution so that it may return to its original color prior to discoloration.[10]

apples

  1. Try to eat at least one or two apples daily to get rid of the yellow stains on your teeth.
  2. Chew thoroughly so that the acidic nature of the apple and its fiber-rich rough flesh get ample time to work on your teeth.

You can also consume other crunchy food items including raw carrots, cucumbers, and broccoli.

7. Use Indian Lilac Twigs as a Toothbrush

Indian lilac, also known as neem, can also be used to get whiter and brighter teeth.

Regular use of neem also helps get rid of bad breath and prevents dental cavities, plaque, gingivitis, and other oral health problems, owing to its astringent and antiseptic properties.

neem leaves with twigs

A 2017 study published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry found that neem contains isoprenoids such as nimbin, nimbinin, and nimbidin, which have antibacterial effects against oral streptococci and prevent them from adhering to the tooth surface.

Moreover, it showed a reduction in plaque and gingivitis, comparable to standard fluoridated dentifrice.[11]

There are a few different ways you can use neem for whiter teeth:

  • Use neem twigs as a toothbrush to brush your teeth daily. Simply chew on the broken end of the twig until it becomes soft enough to brush your teeth with it.
  • Extract the juice of neem leaves and rub it on your teeth once daily. Leave it on for a few minutes, and then use a soft toothbrush to brush your teeth. Rinse it off with warm water.
  • Mix a few drops of neem oil in your regular toothpaste and then brush your teeth.

8. Trust the Potential of Strawberries

Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and can help make your teeth whiter.[12]

A 2013 study published in the Journal of Dentistry found that strawberry juice had a positive effect on the re-whitening process of coffee-stained teeth.[13]

home remedy for yellow teeth

  • Grind a few strawberries to make a paste. Rub the paste on your teeth gently. Use this remedy twice daily for a few weeks to get rid of the yellow tinge on your teeth.
  • Alternatively, you can mix the pulp of one strawberry with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and spread the mixture onto your teeth. Let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse your mouth and brush your teeth with toothpaste to get rid of the residue.

Additional Remedies

The following remedies are neither backed by scientific evidence nor are they reviewed by our health experts. Nonetheless, a number of general users have reported an improvement in their condition using these anecdotal remedies.

Turmeric Paste

Believe it or not, this bright yellow spice can also be effective in whitening your teeth!

When used for brushing the teeth, turmeric powder acts as a gentle abrasive and helps remove surface stains, thus revealing whiter teeth.

Turmeric comes with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibiotic properties, mainly due to the presence of a component called curcumin.

This spice can also be useful in treating other dental problems such as toothache and gingivitis.

A 2011 study published in the Food Chemistry found that components of turmeric had inhibitory effects on the virulence properties of S. mutans biofilms (which are responsible for tooth decay and plaque formation) and suggested that it can be useful for controlling dental biofilms and subsequent dental caries formation.[14]

A 2013 study published in the Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine highlights the role of turmeric in the treatment of periodontal diseases and oral cancers.[15]

  • Mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder in 1 teaspoon of water. Use this paste to brush your teeth for 2 to 3 minutes. Repeatedly rinse with water and spit it out until the liquid comes out clear. Do this once daily.
  • Alternatively, put 4 tablespoons of dried, organic turmeric root powder in a bowl. Add in 2 teaspoons of baking soda and 3 tablespoons of organic virgin coconut oil. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon or fork. Use this paste to brush your teeth once or twice daily.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar works as a natural disinfectant and cleaning agent. It can also be used to whiten your teeth naturally.

Acetic acid, the main active ingredient in apple cider vinegar, helps kill bacteria and reduce the risk of plaque or other oral problems.

apple cider vinegar to whiten teeth

In a 2014 animal study published in the Journal of Sichuan University, researchers found that apple cider vinegar has a bleaching effect on teeth. However, it may soften the teeth.[16]

  1. Dilute raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in an equal amount of water.
  2. Swish the solution in your mouth for 1 minute.
  3. Rinse your mouth with plain water.
  4. Do this a few times a week only.
Note: Avoid overuse of apple cider vinegar, as it can erode the enamel on your teeth.

Preventing Yellow Teeth

Here are a few ways to prevent your pearly-white teeth from turning yellow:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day. This is the most important step in a proper dental care routine.
  • Floss your teeth at least once a day to help remove plaque from areas where your toothbrush can’t reach.
  • Use an antibacterial mouthwash.
  • Rinse your mouth with water after meals or drinking caffeinated beverages to remove any leftover food or residue from your teeth. This will help prevent stains and decay.
  • Cut back on coffee, tea, and other food and beverages that may stain your teeth.
  • Visit your dentist for a dental cleaning every 6 months.
  • Avoid smoking and chewing tobacco, as these habits are harmful to your oral health and can cause stained teeth, gum disease, and even oral cancer.

When to See a Doctor

If you have severely discolored or stained teeth, consult your dentist about various treatments options available to you.

You should also visit your dentist if the color of your teeth appears abnormal without any known cause or if you experience any additional symptoms.

A lot of people prefer professional treatment to remove the yellow tinge from their teeth. However, such treatments can be time-consuming, expensive, and even harmful.

Commercial toothpaste may contain several harmful ingredients such as triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, propylene glycol, microbeads, and diethanolamine, to name a few. Additionally, many toothpaste products are flavored with artificial sweeteners such as aspartame.

According to the American Dental Association, you must consult your dentist before using a bleaching product for teeth whitening. This is especially important for people with several dental fillings, crowns, and extremely dark stains.[2]

Additional Tips

  • Choose your toothpaste according to your oral healthcare requirements.
  • Along with choosing the right toothpaste, it is also important to pick the right toothbrush. Both manual and electric toothbrushes can be used to clean your teeth efficiently. Choose the one you are more comfortable with.
  • Do not share your toothbrush with anyone.
  • Rinse your toothbrush before and after every use to keep bacteria from accumulating on the bristles.
  • Brush your tongue along with your teeth to remove bacteria and bad breath.
  • Buy a new toothbrush every three or four months.
  • Use a mouthwash to help freshen up your breath.
  • Avoid brushing right after eating very acidic foods, which can weaken your enamel. Instead, rinse your mouth with water.
  • A healthy diet goes a long way in maintaining good oral health.

    Thanks.. i have done rigorous research myself what causes yellow teeth and gums problems, which dentists what they don’t tell about. Main causes will be taking food outside or restaurants which is unhygienic also poor preparation food in the hotels, restaurants. Vomiting is big Sign and any one can notice that your gums severely taken off from the teeth, bleeding gums, and you should notice that your gums have melted whenever the sign of vomiting. I think if you have acidity you need to get rid of that gas, acidity and first need to maintain food habits and strictly diet what need to eat and what not. Yellowish of teeth also dangerous which leads to mouth ulcers, zingivities, periodontical problems. Dentists are fools who never gives the right remedy and the real cause they won’t tell. We had Doctors some 20years back who is specialists for multiple diseases like Family physicians, General Doctor and same doctors use to treat for multiple diseases. But now the trend has changed even the doctors except their specialization they are not aware and they looks patients as a business for them

      I hope you still have teeth in 10 years. Not every practicing dental professional treats patients the same. Unfortunately you’ve found some bad ones. You bring up very valid points with GI problems/diet etc. This why the most up to date dentists are practicing total health and wellness. Your body affects your oral cavity and your mouth can affect your body. Medicine is finally recognizing this and it is Wonderful since dental field had known this for decades. Best wishes

        can you just stop being so negative Carla, these work for about 98% of the people that try it. So stop hating.

        • Lilac says:
          7 years ago

          Carla is right, Hailey. She’s only trying to make a point. She isn’t “hating”. You shouldn’t even be on here if you’re going to talk like a teen who wants perfect teeth just because she has a date. (Not that you are, but I’m serious) This website did it’s best, and Carla was only sending a warning to the few whose teeth aren’t going to cope well with these ingredients.

    Be sure not to use hydrogen peroxide too often. It can kill certian good bacteria, possibly even making your tounge look blackish.

  37. Carla says:
    8 years ago

    These suggestions are only addressing the external stains from everyday food/drink/tobacco etc. exposure. As we get older (even into our twenties) our enamel (other most layer of our tooth above gums) becomes more translucent. Due to this the immediate layer underneath called Dentin shows through this translucent enamel. Dentin is a different color all people mostly from light yellow to occasional grey or brownish yellow undertones. Hence the dark yellow appearance. Professional whitening is closely monitored and works by going through enamel and lightening the dentin layer. 99%of these suggestions are not addressing this type of “staining”. Lightening your teeth the due to above will not work with these suggestions. If anyone uses lemons or any other acidic stuff use with caution. Acid on the teeth are number one reason for tooth decay. It breaks down the calcium phosphorous bond of our intact enamel. Causing decalcified/weekend tooth surface leaving it vulnerable to decay Also if there is any current decay that hasn’t been diagnosed it’s a direct line to softer layer underneath called dentin. The end result of acid traveling to nerve of tooth resulting in need for a root canal or extraction. My best advice as a practicing Dental Hygienist of 24 years is to get a dental exam and cleaning. Address your concerns about tooth color issues and get their advice. They will be able to guide you on cause of your darkening teeth. There are several other things that will need to be evaluated such as existing fillings etc. as they will not change when whitening if they match your current tooth shade. You may be surprised a professional cleaning may do the trick. Believe it or not most of us dental professionals do care and want you to have a healthy mouth for your lifetime. And yes I have recommended baking soda to most of my patients due to its basic PH properties. Not only does it help with external stain buildup but also helps neutralize the acidic content of our daily diet. Most everyone would benefit from this little tip. Just sprinkle some baking soda onto toothbrush then apply regular normal toothpaste. Ok ok I’ll get off my dental hygiene soapbox! I’m just really passionate about dental education and have seen toooo many patients unknowingly traumatize their oral cavity.

    Great Genuine and Selfless Social plus Humanity work being done there by you. Yes all remedies work and are options for those who need an alternate remedy to get working for appropriate results.

    Please do clarify if Margosa is sisterly to Neem and the Hindi word for it is ‘ Kikkar ‘ ?

    Last night I tried the method with orange peel and when I woke up I had white spots on my teeth…

  77. Peggy Hankin says:

    My grandmother sucked on lemons, ate green apples, brushed her teeth with baking soda and peppermint oil. She passed away near 90 years old with all her teeth and one filling. Even though she loved sweets like vanilla ice cream. Genetics plays a major role in tooth decay. However, my mother has had stronger teeth than myself. Habits make a real difference in prevention and decay. Flossing is good. And I like the water pick. Whatever my grandmother did after eating reduced the acid that damages tooth enamel. You can rely on natural remedies at least toward reducing decay. She did avoid carbonated soft drinks except on occasion she preferred Ginger Ale. And she drank lots of water and milk.

  78. Peggy Hankin says:

    The one thing I learned from my Great Grandmother who lived almost 100 years and my Grandmother near 90 is that they always shopped for clean fresh foods. Bulk and organic. Fresh produce at the height of the season was preferred. Granny Smith Apples were preferred. Strawberries and blueberries were a must have as well as lentils, kidney beans and cabbage. Almonds and other raw nuts. Bitter foods are good as well as sour for teeth. I still see grandma with a lemon or orange rhine. Not sure if she gargeled with Listerine. But it was always available. Longevity and cavity prevention. My friend said that a slice of cheese after eating reduces acid enamel. I suppose anything that reduces acid in your mouth after eating is a good thing.

    When it comes to do the orange remedy does the rubbering has to be done with the orange peel surface from the outside or does it have to be done with the inside of the skin surface?

  86. Alex Haris says:
