water. It took four rounds of swishing to wash everything out. I spent a minute or two scrubbing my sink (which is white) to get rid of the faint orangey hue the paste had left behind. I tried washing it out of my toothbrush, but that turmeric tint was going <em>nowhere<\/em>\u2014so I just accepted the fact that the bristles would be permanently stained. Another place the turmeric color lingered? The corners of my mouth. Two little patches of jaundiced-looking yellow\u2014how cute. So began round three of scrubbing. Luckily, the color disappeared with a wet paper towel and a little elbow grease.<\/p>\n<p>But my teeth! After all that, I inspected the final result: bright and shiny. They felt squeaky clean and perhaps looked even a little bit whiter. This skeptic was quite surprised\u2014though I knew my sparkly-looking smile was likely thanks to the baking soda, not the golden turmeric.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
