Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dried clove leaves (or 5–6 fresh clove leaves)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for added whitening and antibacterial effect)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (optional for mild exfoliation)
- Warm water (for rinsing)
- Toothbrush
Instructions
- Grind the clove leaves into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or grinder.
- Mix the clove powder with coconut oil and baking soda (if using) to form a paste.
- Dip your toothbrush into the paste and brush your teeth gently for 2 minutes, especially focusing on areas with tartar buildup.
- Rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm water.
- Use once or twice a week for best results.
Note:
Cloves have natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, this remedy should not replace regular dental checkups and cleanings. Consult your dentist if you have sensitive teeth or gum issues.
