Mineral deposit on teeth is known as tartar. As time passes
by, the amount of tartar increases and if you don’t take care, it can cause
periodontitis.

to your dentist, but another way is to remove tartar at home.
To do
so, you will need:
– Baking soda
– Toothbrush
– Hydrogen peroxide
– Salt
– Water
– Cup
– Dental pick
– Antiseptic mouth wash
Baking soda is the most popular and effective tool for
removing plaque.
Step 1:
First, mix one tablespoon of baking soda with ½ teaspoon of
salt into the cup. After you wet the toothbrush with warm water, dip it into
the mixture. Scrub teeth with it and spit. Continue the same process for five
minutes.
Step 2:
Mix a cup full with hydrogen peroxide with ½ cup of warm
water and rinse your mouth for one minute, then spit and rinse with ½ cup of
cool water.

Rinse mouth with an antiseptic mouth wash and repeat every
second day.
Here are some other advices to help you keep your beautiful
smile.
Strawberries
and Tomatoes
Tomatoes and strawberries are rich in vitamin C which is
excellent for oral health. You can rub these fruits directly onto your teeth
and let it sit for 5 minutes. This way the tartar build-up will soften.
Rinse your mouth with baking soda mixed with warm water
afterwards. Also, you can use the same procedure with other food that contains
vitamin C, like bell peppers, berries, lemons, lime, oranges and papaya.
Cheese
Eating a Swiss or Cheddar cheese before meals helps
neutralize the acids that involve plaque creation. An ingredient in aged cheese
works as a barrier agent.
Moreover, there are other things that you can add into your
oral health routine:
-Brush your teeth regularly with a soft brush and make
vertical movements. Pay attention on the space between gums and teeth.
-Floss regularly.
-Consuming spicy food stimulates salivary glands. That way
saliva cleans mouth in a natural way.
– Fight bacteria with an orange peel rub on teeth before
going to bed and don’t rinse mouth.
