Massaging your gums is a great way to improve blood circulation and promote healthy gum tissue which keeps it clear and pink. Use your fingertips to gently rub your gums in circular motions.

Using activated charcoal to whiten teeth:
Activated charcoal is excellent at absorbing surface stains on your teeth that are causing yellowing! To clean your teeth at home with this home remedy, simply wet your toothbrush and dip it into the activated charcoal. Brush your teeth as you would with any other toothpaste for two minutes before spitting out. Be sure to rinse well, as activated charcoal can be messy. Limit this home remedy more than once a week, though, because too much of the activated charcoal could potentially wear down your tooth enamel.
