Raw papaya might be a good bleaching agent because it contains papain and chymopapain enzymes. These enzymes are found in unripe papaya more than in ripe papaya. Papain enzyme may be able to remove the superficial stains of the teeth and reduce the plaque development in the teeth 4<\/a>,5<\/a><\/sup>.^{\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
You may use unripe papaya as a home remedy for teeth whitening. Wash the papaya and remove the peel and seeds. Blend the flesh into a blender. Squeeze the pulp using a mesh cloth and use the juice obtained with hydrogen peroxide as a mouth rinse to bleach your teeth. Unripe papaya might be used as a non-abrasive (mild) whitening agent 5<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>
