If you drink coffee or tea, or eat certain foods, chances are your teeth are stained and discolored. But commercial tooth-whitening strips are full of chemicals. Try this simple formula instead: it will help you get your teeth pearly white again. It also has antibacterial properties and a gentle abrasive action to make your teeth feel squeaky clean.

Here is the wise and simple formula for whiter, brighter teeth:

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons dried Sage leaves
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt
  • Preheat oven to 250F. Using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, grind the salt and Sage together.
  • Spread mixture evenly on a baking Sheet and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then stir to blend.
  • Scoop some of the mixture onto your toothbrush and brush vigorously.
