This Easy Trick Is Meant to Whiten Your Teeth!

This is one of those times when you find out common household items can do something better than flashy and expensive products!

The common household spice turmeric can apparently give you a set of brighter pearly whites! 

Drew of FitLifeTV says, “Americans spend over 1 billion dollars a year on over-the-counter tooth whitening products. But are you getting what you’re paying for? The short-term effects may actually NOT be worth the consequences of chemical-laden “remedies.” Mother Nature provides a TON of resources for us to use each day. And whitening your teeth is no exception. I personally use this spice regularly and it works like a charm.”

Turmeric doesn't seem like it would stop your teeth being yellow seeing as it's a yellow spice itself that is found in curry, mustards and cheeses! According to WebMD, it can also be used for a ton of health concerns, including arthritis, intestinal gas, headaches, inflammatory skin conditions and soreness inside of the mouth.

In this video, Drew whips up a paste containing coconut oil, peppermint oil, and the secret ingredient — turmeric — to whiten his teeth. It's simple and cheap...but does it actually work!?
