A member asked:

Can brushing your teeth with tumeric powder whiten your teeth?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It could: It may work. But stay with clinically proven methods that are safe. See a dentist for a consultation. Remember bleaching teeth that have cavities or infection can be detrimental.

Possibly: But using gels and toothpates that are formulated to do just that will give you better results.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
