Banana peel for whiter teeth

Submitted by Liam McGinlay

I have been using the inside of banana peels on a daily basis to whiten my teeth for the past 2 years. I simply rub the inside of a banana peel on to my teeth in a circular motion for approximately two minutes; the results are phenomenal. There is not a day goes by where I am not complimented for my teeth. 

They are now incredibly white after years of dull, stained teeth. You should see the benefits after about 2 weeks. Of course, I also used a little bit of water and salt each day, but I had been using that anyway for years before I tried the banana peel and it had no effect. It was not until I used it in conjunction with the banana peel that I saw incredible changes to my teeth.

God bless you for sharing this simple, inexpensive, HEALTHY way of removing stains!   Salt Comments By: Alison The banana peel is good, however, salt leaves your teeth more prone to tooth decay. Use the salt every few weeks but don't do it every day.   ..what kind of banana shud be used? Comments By: Grace heLlo..i just want to ask if all of you are using the yellow bananas? or green bananas? which is better? does both have the same effect?thanks!   I agree!! Comments By: Liam McGinlay I have stopped using the salt each day. I have taken the advice from Sue and i'm glad I did. My teeth were becoming transparent with over-use of salt. I have regained the enamel on my teeth and they are as white as ever. Banana peel really is the best out there!   I agree!! Comments By: Liam McGinlay I have stopped using the salt each day.

I have regained the enamel on my teeth and they are as white as ever. Banana peel really is the best out there!   Yellow Bananas!! Comments By: Liam McGinlay Yellow bananas are better. Green bananas have more potassium which is not as directly suitable to teeth as the yellow banana is. That is my experience anyway, and my teeth are very white.   Before or after?
