I want to give this a try, see if it does what it says it will do.  Read at Lifehacks this morning, and want to give this a try:

Tinge on teeth, Orange Peels can remove it.  They contain compound called  d-limonene, which helps reduce teeth staining (even from smoking)   Here's how;

Rub inside of an orange peel (the white portion) over your teeth for 2-3 minutes, then rinse.  Do this twice a day until you've got those pearly whites!

Or

Mix some orange peel powder and some water to make a past.  Add dried leaves for bonus points.  Ue this paste on toothbrush and brush teeth.  Repeat twice a day for a few weeks.
