One of the advantages of this technique is that it only requires ingredients that you probably already have at home. To prepare it you will need:
Rice
Cooked white rice: about half a cup.
Clean water: about a cup.
Blender or food processor: to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
Mouthwash (optional): ideal for a final touch of freshness.
Step by step: how to apply the rice
technique 1. Prepare the pasta
Cook half a cup of white rice without salt or seasonings until very soft. Let it cool a little so you can handle it without the risk of burning yourself. Then, place it in the blender along with a cup of water and process until you get a creamy mixture, with a light paste texture. It does not need to be completely uniform, but it does need to be soft enough to be applied in the mouth.
2. Apply to teeth
Take a small amount of the paste with your toothbrush or clean fingers and distribute it over the surface of your teeth. Make gentle, circular movements for about a minute, paying attention to the areas that are most stained or close to the gums. Avoid rubbing hard, as the idea is to take advantage of the natural polishing effect of the starch without damaging the enamel.
