Ah! You’re probably referring to a natural teeth whitening method using turmeric and something like baking soda (the “white powder”). Here’s a safe and effective way to do it at home:
Turmeric & Baking Soda Teeth Whitening Paste
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- A small pinch (or ½ teaspoon) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil (optional, helps bind and adds antibacterial effect)
Instructions
- Mix turmeric, baking soda, and coconut oil into a smooth paste
- Apply a thin layer to your toothbrush
- Brush teeth gently for 1–2 minutes (don’t scrub too hard)
- Leave the paste on for a minute or two, then rinse thoroughly
- Brush again with your regular toothpaste to remove any yellow residue
Tips
- Frequency: 2–3 times per week max — baking soda and turmeric are abrasive if overused
- Caution: Turmeric can temporarily stain toothbrushes, sinks, or towels
- Effectiveness: Works best for surface stains (tea, coffee, mild discoloration), not deep intrinsic staining
If you want, I can give a step-by-step daily routine combining turmeric, baking soda, and a few natural boosters to safely brighten teeth without sensitivity.
Do you want me to do that?
