– Wet your toothbrush and dip it into activated charcoal powder (you can find this at most health stores).

**How to use it:**
– Dilute 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water.
– Swish the mixture around in your mouth for about 1 minute.

– **Maintain a consistent routine**: Whether it’s brushing with a whitening toothpaste or doing oil pulling, consistency is key to seeing long-lasting results.
– **Watch your diet**: Limit foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark berries, which can stain teeth. Drinking through a straw can also reduce direct contact with your teeth.
– **Practice good oral hygiene**: Regular brushing, flossing, and visits to the dentist are essential for keeping your smile bright and healthy.
