RE: Can I whiten my teeth naturally without damaging them?
Yes - coconut oil works well if you oil pull (swill it) for about 5 mins a day.
BUT - here is the real issue - all tooth health is dependent on eating quality animal products - so being vegan and poor teeth go hand in hand.

I've heard this, yet I have plenty of vegan friends with great teeth so I guess it doesn't always mean this. A few people have mentioned the Weston A. Price book to me on Steemit. I may have to actually read it one of these days!
Let's see how the coconut oil works... and a bit more vegan lifestyle research. I would like to try and avoid the meat if I can :)
This one is always controversial - I have several vegan friends on Steemit who say the same thing - but we sell supplements and joke that half our customers are ex vegans with bad teeth! (except we are not actually joking)

The best explanation we have is that teeth heath is dependent on the animal products eaten by the parents, and by the child for their first 5-10 years.
But starting with a depleted nutrient store a vegan diet will destroy a person's teeth in 1- 15 years (longest time before problems starting we have heard of)
So any vegan without a history of eating some animal food is unlikely to maintain good teeth for more than a decade
