antimicrobial properties.
But there is an obvious question:
Can turmeric actually whiten your teeth?
The short answer is not in the same way as proven tooth-whitening products.
Although turmeric has properties that have made it interesting in oral-health research, there is limited evidence that rubbing turmeric directly onto your teeth will produce significant or lasting whitening. In fact, because turmeric is intensely yellow, applying it to the teeth may temporarily leave yellow residue rather than creating the bright smile promised by viral posts.
That does not mean turmeric is useless.
