Apple Cider Vinegar has grown in popularity over the last few years.

Apple Cider Vinegar – eating it, drinking it, using it on our skin, rinsing our hair with it – you name it, someone is bound to have tried it. Once only available from niche stores, it’s now well stocked in our everyday supermarkets.

 

Many celebrities including Jennifer Anniston and Angelina Jolie claim that this unusual drink is a staple in their daily health rituals. Apple cider vinegar hit the headlines when it became the latest celebrity diet fad. Celebrities were buying it by the gallon and claiming it helped them shed pounds.

 

 

While it doesn’t sound like the most appealing drink in the world, the health benefits are endless. It can help stabilise blood sugar levels making it the perfect drink for diabetics. Apple Cider Vinegar is also known to reduce the risk of heart disease, help rid the stomach of bacteria and can help fight gout.

 

But did you know it is also good for our teeth?

 

Apple cider vinegar can help to remove the stains from our teeth. It works by attacking the plaque that builds up on teeth that causes that yellow colour that we all hate so much.

Our teeth changing colour is inevitable as we get older as the outer enamel wears away and the yellow dentin underneath becomes much more visible.

 

 

Replacing Mouthwash with Apple Cider Vinegar…

Making up an apple cider vinegar mouthwash solution could help combat the yellowing of our teeth. Simply mix 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with 150ml of water and rinse the solution around your mouth. While it might not taste great, it will make a difference to your smile. Performing this simple task a couple of times is enough to see a change.

 

As with all at home and natural whitening it won’t necessarily give you the perfect Hollywood white, bright smile. However, it could make a difference to the general appearance of your teeth, making them a shade or two whiter.
