Banana peels for whitening teeth?

No, you need not wear them, just rub them on the enamel of the teeth, in the front anyways, like she was demonstrating. I wonder if I'd have the guts to be on a youtube vid demonstrating it if it didn't work though.

I know you were.

Yes, I know you don't wear them. I was kidding!!

LOL, yes some people do have aversians to things. I'm sorry if it creeped you out. I won't say banana again, lol. yes, I did laugh at pageturner's response too although I didn't tell him, he is rather funny sometimes. hydrogen peroxide now I have an aversian too cause I tried to do that awhile back and ever since my gums on that side of my mouth have felt alittle "wierd" and besides some people think hydrogen peroxide is now even bad for even using on cuts and such.

It seems white teeth are all the rage right now. I don't know if they will get your teeth glow in the dark white but perhaps a few shades brighter, so if anyone tries it and has some results I would like to know too. I love bananas, the most I can eat is one per day, but I have heard eating two in the morning helps to loose weight. They are like 150- 200 calories a banana though so not sure how that works.

Well, there are alot of people with such white teeth that it seems they will glow in the dark, obviously it is not natural white. I don't recall Happy Dent, was it a toothpaste? Then there are those light up contraptions I have seen that people can put in their mouths and it lights up white in the dark.

That is funny, that photo is priceless. I wish I could see the commercial for it.

It is interesting, I try everything even if it wounds ridiculous, haha. But luckily I know when to draw the line at being in danger. I won't do anything dangerous that is. I only had some older nail polish hanging around, cause I didn't buy any in so long, so maybe thats why it didn't work. I have to get an idea on which ones to use and it should work better.

I used some pretty new nail polish and i still didnt get it too work. Yeah i dont think there is anything wrong with trying new things as long as its not dangerous. Have you ever tired hair chalking? Just curious.

Oh wow, not even the pretty new polish worked? They make it look so easy on the videos. I wonder if they mention the brand of polish they use, hopefully it isn't something really expensive. It looks pretty liquidy and is supposed to be able to make circles of colours within the colors, then take the toothpick and pull in the sides, and so forth. I like the part where you swab everything up that is excess, I'm surprised that worked, it was about the only thing that did, LOL. No, I never tried hair chalking, I think that would be messy, wouldn't it? And maybe damage the hair. I'm not sure of all the details on it but it looks cool. I'm too old at 49 to try everything like that but once in awhile things get my curiosity up. I would sure make a darn cool mom or grandmother though for a girl thats interested in this stuff, thats for sure, LOL.

No she didn't say what it was about the banana peel that caused teeth to whiten, I looked quickly at the comments but not everything but maybe it's in the comments section and I overlooked it. It could be a prank too, who knows. LOL. I did try it out a few times but so far don't notice to many results, but I've tried even crazier things I'm sure for other "problems", etc.

It must be a joke if you're not getting results. Might be worth googling to see if there are other articles about this type of thing. In fact I might go do that and see what crazy things are out there haha

Do they have white teeth? Monkeys that is. I never noticed. I thought their mouths were pretty terrible?

Nope can't hurt, but I use a peel that's just been taken off the banana, not one thats been sitting around for awhile. Otherwise it sounds too gross for me to try, so use a fresh peel. Let me now if you tried it and if anything worked for you as well. I'm curious to know any results from anyone, so type them here if you found it works!

Oh thanks for the hint on the nail polish. Do you use any particular brand? I think some brands work better than others too. I did try one glitter and it was the worst out of them all. I have used banana peels with roses, I cut them up and dry them out for a day or so and then bury them in with the dirt. I think it's the potassium in them that helps grow the roses. I have sensitive everything, that is why I go for more natural substitutions. Let me know if you try it, if it works ok?

So far nothing has changed considerably on my teeth, maybe I'm just too old and far gone for anything to work, sigh.

You have! That's great, now I know I'm not the only one. I'm going to have to try it again cause I stopped doing it and there's still no difference.

Anything is possible, and for me, I love trying most kinds of home remedies anyways unless I feel there is problem like health risk with something I will try it and learn from the experience either way.

I have tried it, I can't use the whitening strips as I'm afraid some of the materials it's made up might flair up my colitis I have so I try different "natural" things if I come across them. Plus I like using home remedies anyways for many things instead of store bought items. She was using the inside of the peel, and just let it stay on her teeth for a few minutes afterward, it is alittle mushy feeling but oh well.

Thank you for the advice on the baking soda, I have heard of that one before, and it seems to work for many.
