Forget Bleaching! Apparently The Answer To Pearly White Teeth Is Lurking In Your Spice Rack

Celebrity smiles are something of a mystery. Just how do they get them so white? (Answer: Veneers, probably. Sigh.)

Sadly, for us mere mortals getting a mega bright smile isn’t so easy and we’ll often opt for over-the-counter or order-’em-online fixes that can be both damaging and ineffective.

If that sounds familiar, then you might want to look to blogger Farah Dhukai who says that the secret to A-list white teeth is already in your spice rack.
