The oil that you use to swish your mouth with pulls bacteria, parasites and other toxins from your teeth and mucus membranes. So, how to do oil pulling? It’s simple, very simple to do.
You will need:
A spoonful of any oil (cold-pressed, organic oil). You may choose one from the following list:

• Sesame oil; or
• Coconut oil; or
• Olive oil.

Directions:
You need to do oil pulling first thing in the morning just after you wake up and have not yet brushed your teeth or eaten something.

• Take the oil in your mouth.
• Swish your mouth with this oil. Do it with energy putting efforts.
• Pull the oil through the teeth.
• Pull it from one side to other.
• Keep on doing this for at least 15-20 minutes daily.

Initially, 15-20 minutes might look a little longer to you. However, once you start doing oil pulling and you cross a minute or two, you’ll no longer feel it to be as tedious as you thought it to be. In a couple of days, you will just become comfortable with the whole process. Within two week’s time, you’ll start feeling the health benefits that oil pulling will bring to you. And yes, your yellow teeth become white and its a “positive side effect” of oil pulling!

Baking soda has been used since ages to whiten yellow teeth. And this is effective, very effective! But you should also know the drawback of using baking soda on your teeth. Baking soda’s abrasive nature can wear down the enamel of your teeth. But this abrasiveness of baking soda is helpful in removing the topical stains as well as plaque of your teeth. If you use lemon juice with baking soda, this further wears down your teeth as the citric acid in lemon juice unlocks some of the calcium present in the enamel thus whitening your teeth to some more extent. While baking soda can instantly whiten your teeth, its long term use can be detrimental to the protective enamel of your teeth. If you, however, decide to use baking soda as the remedy for your yellow teeth, make a paste using baking soda, lemon and salt mixture
You will need:

• Baking soda- a pinch
• Salt- a pinch
• Lemon juice- few drops

Directions:

• Mix baking soda, salt and lemon juice to get a paste like consistency.
• Brush your teeth with this mixture.
• You may then brush your teeth again with your regular toothpaste, just to correct the taste of your mouth.

Use this remedy for only once or twice a week, preferably when you initiate the process of whitening your yellow teeth. It’s not recommended to use this remedy for more than a couple of weeks when you use it for one or two days in a week.
