Natural Tooth Whitening: Foods, Habits, and Holistic Approaches

This is Beyond Bleaching Strips

Whitening doesn’t have to rely on harsh chemicals. At Amore Dentistry, we teach patients natural, safe ways to brighten smiles while protecting enamel.

Foods That Naturally Whiten Teeth

• Apples, carrots, and celery (scrub teeth naturally)

• Strawberries (contain malic acid)

• Pineapple (bromelain enzyme helps stain removal)

Habits That Keep Teeth Bright

• Oil pulling with coconut oil (Peedikayil et al., 2015)

• Avoiding staining drinks like coffee and soda

• Regular professional cleanings

Holistic Whitening Options

• Ozone therapy for stain reduction

• Polishing with non-toxic pastes

• Safe, low-concentration peroxide under professional guidance
