Mixing turmeric and coconut oil, as she does, could potentially be just as effective as any other alternative.

Turmeric has tons of benefits, like its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Coconut oil reduces plaque, according to to Pavaani healing company co-founder Trudy Collings. These factors could be why the combo is effective in keeping your teeth pearly white.

The best part: it’s possible you have these ingredients in your kitchen already, and if not, they’re easy to track down. We’re intrigued by the method.
