Coconut Oil Boost: Add a ½ teaspoon of coconut oil for a natural antibacterial touch and smoother texture.

FAQ
Q: Is this safe for daily use?
A: No. Due to the abrasive nature of baking soda and peroxide, limit use to 2–3 times per week to prevent enamel damage.
Q: Can this remove deep stains or replace a dentist cleaning?
A: This is best for surface stains and mild tartar. For deeper stains or severe plaque buildup, consult a dentist.
Q: Is hydrogen peroxide safe to use?
A: Yes, in low concentrations (3% or less), hydrogen peroxide is commonly used in over-the-counter whitening products. Always use it in moderation and never swallow.
Q: Will turmeric stain my teeth yellow?
A: Surprisingly, no. When used in small amounts and rinsed properly, turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory properties and can support oral health without staining teeth.
