Beneficial Uses for Apple Cider Vinegar

Whiten Teeth

No, it’s not too good to be true. The acid present in ACV is ideal for removing stains and brightening those pearly whites. Simply take a cotton swab and soak the head in apple cider vinegar. Next, rub the swab against your teeth. You won’t see immediate results, but if you are consistent, you will notice that stains gradually lighten up.

The additional benefit of swabbing your teeth and gums is that the enzymes and prebiotics present in ACV improve dental health. Not only will you heal gum cuts, prevent gum decay, and work against fungal or bacteria infections, such as thrush and strep throat, you also fight bad breath. Gargle some ACV with water. Then brush your teeth afterwards to avoid enamel wear from the acid.
