For sensitive teeth, substitute baking soda with kaolin clay, which is less abrasive but still cleansing. You can also add activated charcoal for extra whitening power—just note that it can be messy.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is this safe for daily use?
A: No. While the ingredients are natural, baking soda and turmeric can be abrasive if overused. Limit use to 2–3 times a week.
Q: Will turmeric stain my teeth yellow?
A: Surprisingly, no—turmeric temporarily colors your toothbrush but may help reduce surface stains on teeth over time when used correctly.
Q: How soon will I see results?
A: Many users report visible brightening after 1–2 weeks of consistent use, depending on diet and lifestyle.
Q: Can I use this if I have dental work like crowns or veneers?
A: It’s best to consult your dentist. Natural abrasives can affect dental restorations differently than natural enamel.
