We’ll all agree that beautiful healthy teeth are essential for a radiant smile. However, the food we eat, genetics and, more of all, improper oral hygiene often leave our teeth covered in plaque. Improper oral hygiene including improper brushing or irregular flossing first leads to plaque, which then results in tartar formation. Having plague on your teeth not only looks unappealing as your teeth turn yellow or brown, but it also halitosis or bad breath.
If left untreated, tartar can lead to more serious issues such as infections or periodontitis.
One way to deal with tartar buildup is to undergo expensive and time-consuming dental procedures. Another way to remove plaque buildup is using alternative solutions. Luckily, alternative medicine has plenty to offer regarding this issue. Here, we select the two most effective methods to clean your teeth of tartar at home. Needless to mention, neither of the two methods includes chemicals of any kind.
These home remedies will help you clean your teeth of tartar easily and quickly. On the plus side, there aren’t any side effects to these methods because they are completely natural and safe.
However, once you try these home remedies, you don’t need to fear any more.
