For mild stains

To remove the light stains that cause subtle discoloration around the gumline and between teeth, brush with an activated charcoal powder. Charcoal helps lift the pigment particles that get left on teeth from coffee, tea and wine. Plus, it buffs away any yellowing plaque on teeth.

Use twice a day for results in one week.

For moderate stains

Gently nix the stains that cover the top layer of enamel with coconut oil and sea salt strips. The oil pulls embedded stains from the tooth’s surface while the salt’s magnesium strengthens enamel so teeth are more resistant to stains. Use daily for results in five days.

For severe stains

A “power whitening” treatment that combines bleaching peroxide with an LED light can combat deep discoloration. The light activates ingredients in the whitening gel so it penetrates into enamel to break up the heavy-duty stains. Use once a day for results in 10 days.
