How to whiten the teeth using banana peels

Yes, it sounds odd, but you can actually use banana peels to whiten your teeth.

This is considered so because of the wonderful source of minerals and vitamins the banana peel contains in it that makes it so very essential in teeth whitening.

To use, find a perfectly ripe banana, one that does not have brown spots is great.

Choose a banana with no spot. you want it to be ripe (as this is when it contains the most minerals) but not black.

For close to 10 minutes rub the inside of the banana peel against your top and bottom teeth, until they are completely coated in a layer of banana paste.

Once the 10 minutes are up, take a dry toothbrush and use it to brush the banana paste into your teeth.

It’s unlikely that you’ll see any results after just one treatment, so continue rubbing your teeth with a banana peel for up to two weeks.
