Use sand in the river or stream
When I was a child, I occasionally used sand from the stream I bathe to brush my teeth. Now before using this, make sure it is sterilized. It can help to bring back the whitish nature of your teeth. Just think about it? We use sand to wash our black pots,kettles etc. They bring back the original colour of the pot same with the teeth. Add a little toothpaste to sand, mix and use your fingers to scrub your teeth. Rinse with plenty water. This method is highly effective and cheap.
