FAQ:
Q: Can carrot tops really whiten teeth?
A: While not a bleach or peroxide agent, carrot tops contain chlorophyll and minerals that may help cleanse and mildly polish teeth. Used with baking soda, they may gently reduce surface stains.
Q: Is this safe for daily use?
A: Due to the abrasiveness of baking soda, it’s best to limit use to 2–3 times a week to avoid enamel wear.
Q: What if I don’t have fresh carrot tops?
A: You can substitute with fresh parsley or mint leaves, which also offer mild cleansing properties.
