Surprisingly, carrot tops – the leafy green part often discarded – can be a natural way to help brighten teeth. With their high content of vitamins and minerals, carrot tops can help remove tartar and yellowing while also providing a gentle scrub to remove surface stains. Here’s a quick and simple way to use carrot tops for a natural teeth-whitening treatment at home.
Why Carrot Tops Work for Teeth Whitening
Carrot tops contain beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium, which help remineralize teeth and fight off plaque buildup. Their slightly abrasive texture also acts as a natural scrub for the surface of the teeth, removing stubborn stains without damaging the enamel.
