Will a banana peel give you a brighter smile?
Bananas make great additions to smoothies and bread, but can they help give you a whiter smile?
The amount of minerals in bananas and their peels has led some people to think the skin can whiten teeth.
The claim is that all you need to do is rub the inside of the peel on your teeth for a couple of minutes before or after you brush them. The American Dental Association (ADA) doesn't offer an opinion on the use of banana peels to whiten teeth. The ADA's advice is simple: Don't do it.
While you can enjoy the nutritional benefits of fruits by eating them, you won't get positive results when you try to whiten your teeth with them. The high acid content in many fruits can end up hurting your teeth, not helping them.
If you clean your teeth three times a day, you will have a beautiful smile with your natural teeth colour.
