8. Eat Crunchy Fruits and Vegetables
Apples, carrots, and celery act as natural toothbrushes. Their crunchy texture scrapes away plaque and food particles that can stain your teeth.
Tip: Snack on raw fruits and veggies daily for both oral health and whiter teeth.
9. Avoid Stain-Causing Foods and Drinks
Coffee, tea, red wine, and sodas are the biggest culprits behind yellow teeth.
Hack: If you can’t give them up, use a straw to minimize contact with your teeth, and rinse your mouth with water immediately afterward.
