-
Brush gently:

✅ Benefits:
-
Rice flour is a natural, gentle abrasive that can polish the teeth and remove some surface stains.

Coconut oil has mild antimicrobial properties and helps bind the powder.
-
Baking soda adds extra whitening power, though it should be used no more than 2–3 times a week to avoid enamel erosion.

This is not a substitute for professional whitening.

Do not use baking soda daily—it can damage enamel over time.

Results, if any, are usually gradual and not immediate.

Regular dental cleaning.

Avoid staining foods (coffee, red wine).

Use whitening toothpaste approved by dentists.

Consider professional whitening treatments for visible results.
