After you eat an orange, rub the orange peel on your teeth – it’s an easy way to clean your tooth enamel. It will whiten the teeth and it helps prevent stains and fight off bacteria. After you’re done rubbing for a few minutes, simply rinse it off with some water.
Sesame Seeds

You can take a handful of sesame seeds, chew on them for several minutes and spit them out for an easy way to clean your teeth and gently remove dental plaque. Afterwards, use a dry brush to remove any remaining seeds. You can also use this scrub to remove stains from your teeth.
Vitamin Tooth Mask

Mashing up fruits and veggies containing vitamin C is a quick and easy way to create a plaque-preventing paste mask for your teeth. Simply mash together tomatoes, strawberries and oranges and put the paste on your teeth. Wait for 5-6 minutes and rinse. This will help kill any bacteria in your mouth and freshen up your breath.
