As with natural remedies, symptoms seem to get worse before they get better sometimes. I have seen other people say on this website that its just your body purging the toxins, and continuing with the remedy does indeed solve the problem for most people. Others say, if its not working, you are missing an important step, or not doing it right. I would just continue with it. The toxins DO have to go somewhere...good luck, be patient.

I'm loving the peppermint oil & baking soda remedy & I'm ordering some peppermint oil today. Just want to point out that only food grade essential oils should be used. Also, I'd use a small bottle cap to mix the ingredients & a q-tip to apply. Thanks everyone for this remedy!

Make sure to avoid rubbing the gums with baking soda. Also, I wouldn't do this too often, maybe once a week, as baking soda is quite abrasive and also changes the ph of your saliva, making your gums sensitive.
I have never posted anything online before, but I just had to share this teeth-stain-removing method and the WONDERFUL results I got with it!

Thank you Kelly from Middleton, WI. I too had grey stains on my top teeth but I think mine were from taking blackstrap molasses every day. I tried hydrogen peroxide, brushing with baking soda and brushing with coconut oil but that didn't do anything. After reading your post, I got a cotton ball, put a few drops of water on it so the baking soda would stay on, then put a little bit of baking soda and then 4 drops of peppermint essential oil. I rubbed it on my teeth for only about a minute and the stains came right off. I am so happy. Thank you once again.

I tried peppermint essential oils on a cotton ball with baking soda. The brown stains rubbed off in 5 minutes! It was amazing! I've been using a great natural whitening toothpaste, but it made the brown spots stand out because the rest of my teeth are so white! This is a great tip! I think the quality of the peppermint essential oil makes a difference though.

I also have been at a loss in removing tea stains. I even limited my tea drinking. I had two ugly brown stains on front teeth.
After using 4 drops of peppermint essential oil and baking soda, stains were gone in 2 minutes.
Thank you, Kelly, for your suggestion. To my teeth, Kelly, you are a hero!

Totally worked after just a minute of trying this. a couple of drops of peppermint oil on a cotton swab, a sprinkle of baking soda, and a minute of scrubbing my two front teeth and the stains were gone!! I had been so worried about these stains that seemed to suddenly come on in the last couple of days, that I started researching professional teeth whitening solutions... But I'm good now! Thank you Kelly!!

Thank you Kelly so much for this tip. I have tried so many ways to remove stains on my front teeth. Peppermint oil and baking soda is the only thing that has worked for me - it's amazing , not only does it work but the results are instant. So bless you for sharing this.

Ok - I have been trying to remove some dark stains on the top of my bottom 2 teeth for about 3 mos. I tried over the counter gels, mouth rinses, etc. I have a $100 cyber sonic toothbrush and use a special whitening gel and still those stains were there. I don't smoke but I do drink tea. Well I didn't have any oil of peppermint but I tried the baking soda on a moistened Q-tip and it worked! I can't believe that .59 cent box of baking soda worked while I have been trying all these expensive products. On top of that I am struggling with thyroid issues and I don't want to go to the dentist as they won't clean my teeth without xrays, which I can't get due to my thyriod enlargement. So I am sooo happy this worked as my teeth are perfect and those stains are gone!!

Thank you so very much! My teeth are stained with iron (liquid supplement), coffee, tea and cinnamon. The stains have been so dark that someone recently asked if I had gotten braces. Horrifying but I lacked the funds to see a dentist.
I rubbed my teeth with your concoction, and while the stains are not entirely lifted, they are far lighter. I did this for about seven minutes (so excited that I lost track of time! ) and then when my tooth enamel began to feel sensitive I stopped.
I'd like to continue to do this but am a little worried about the enamel? If I rub it away to the dentin underneath, won't it stain more easily? Do you do this regularly, now? And are your teeth healthy? Wondering how often I can do this. The results were far better than expected, and so I'd like to continue.....
Thank you so much!!
I agree double on that once a week thing. My teeth became very sensitive to heat and cold after using baking soda. I didn't have peppermint, but will maybe try that and if I have good results, I'll only do it once a week.

You will need to mash up one ripe strawberry and add in 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda. Then use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth.
Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry-baking powder mix. Rinse. And floss - get out all strawberry seeds.
Take a look into mirror to note your smile whiteness.

Sea Salt and Baking Soda for Teeth Health
My Aunt (86 years old) and I were talking about how toothpaste was unavailable when she was a little girl during WWII. So everyone brushed their teeth with Sea salt and Baking soda 1:1 ratio placed in the palm of their hand. Wet your toothbrush with water and dipped it in the SS/BS powder. She said everyone's teeth were so white and healthy back then.

Francisa - I too was looking for this book. I found it on www(dot)amazon(dot)com for around $30 USD, but it will probably be more to ship it to France!

Ok I've read a lot, and I tried rubbing the olive oil on my teeth. I am not sure what good that does. My mouth felt greasy afterwards, so I brushed my teeth. I rinsed, and then tried the hydrogen peroxide suggestion. However, I did change it up a little bit. First, I poured it into a little cup, then I dipped my oral-b electric toothbrush in the liquid. I brushed and rinsed several times. After that, I added a little splash of listerine to the hydrogen peroxide. I swished it and rinsed with hot water, and repeated several times as well. I am due to see the dentist soon. My biggest issue is that one front tooth has a crack in the middle of it, and the dentist said that it's darkening from the inside out. I am hoping this works, my teeth have recently darkened and I'm embarrassed to smile, talk, and take pictures. I will keep everyone posted! Thanks for the help:)

I have used soap instead of toothpaste for a couple of years without any detriment. Simply wet the brush and scrub onto a bar of unscented soap and brush teeth as normal. I suppose an unscented soap might be best but since I rinse with water afterwards & follow-up with an original mouthwash (with alcohol), no aftertaste exists. I reply here because I notice a lot of people's questions often go unanswered. Go ahead and try the soap. It works as fine as toothpaste, doesn't contain Fluoride, is inexpensive & safe. You almost certainly have bars already.
