Teeth whitening is something everyone wants to do to keep a white bright smile. However, having a daily cup of coffee plus tons of sugary and spicy foods can stain teeth yellow and brown, making them lose their shiny white look.
HOW ESSENTIAL OILS HELP TEETH WHITENING
Essential oils are pure plant extracts obtained from aromatic plant material such as the leaves, tree bark, roots, fruit rinds, flowers and resin. They are highly concentrated and made up of various natural chemicals that give each oil its characteristic scent and therapeutic properties.
Essential oils help teeth whitening because they are potent enough, due to their chemical makeup, to remove stains such as yellow or brown stains on teeth. They are rich in compounds such as limonene that are whitening and brightening agents, whether it’s for skin or teeth.
