Tartar: how to clean your teeth at home? Video
Tartar occurs due to poor oral hygiene and is a dense, dark deposit on the surface of the teeth. It damages the enamel, traumatizes the gums and is, moreover, a rather serious cosmetic problem. You can remove tartar with the help of a dental hygienist, but there are also home methods to get rid of tough deposits and restore teeth to their natural whiteness.
How to remove tartar at home
Removing tartar with baking soda
One of the most effective folk remedies for removing tartar is regular baking soda. It is easy to use at home, and not only to combat tartar, but also to whiten the enamel. You can make a composition for cleaning your teeth yourself: just add a pinch of soda to your usual toothpaste. You need to brush your teeth with such a mixture no more than three times a week, otherwise there is a high probability of thinning and damage to the enamel, especially on the front teeth.
You can remove tartar without the help of toothpaste. To do this, you need to mix a pinch of soda with hydrogen peroxide and rub the resulting gruel into the tooth enamel. After 3-5 minutes, you should rinse your mouth thoroughly to remove the compound from the teeth and get rid of the unpleasant aftertaste.
You can also use finely ground table salt instead of baking soda. It also has a whitening effect, but its effect on tooth enamel is even more aggressive.
You can enhance the effect of soda with lemon juice. It will take just a few procedures to remove tartar and whiten teeth in this way. After mixing both components, you need to apply the composition to the teeth. After a few minutes, you can spit out the resulting saliva, and rinse your mouth.
Other Methods for Removing Tartar and Whitening Teeth
