1 ripe banana peel (preferably with brown spots for maximum benefit)
A soft-bristled toothbrush
Water (for rinsing)
Instructions :
Select the Perfect Banana: Choose a ripe banana with a yellow skin and a few brown spots. The peel should be slightly soft and pliable. Ripe bananas have higher levels of essential nutrients, making them ideal for this treatment.
Prepare the Peel: Gently remove the peel from the banana. Cut a small section of the peel that will be easy to handle and apply to your teeth. Be sure to use the inner side of the peel, which contains the beneficial compounds.
Apply the Peel to Your Teeth: Take the piece of banana peel and rub the inner side directly onto your teeth. Focus on areas where tartar buildup and stains are most noticeable. The natural enzymes and minerals in the peel will begin to interact with your enamel, working to loosen and remove tartar while whitening the surface.
Brush Your Teeth: After applying the banana peel for approximately two minutes, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your teeth as you normally would. The banana peel’s residue will help lift away the loosened tartar and stains, leaving your teeth cleaner and brighter.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water to remove any leftover banana peel particles. This step ensures that your mouth feels fresh and free from any residual peel.
