Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 clove garlic (peeled and finely grated or mashed)
- A few drops of water (optional, to create a paste)
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a small bowl, combine the baking soda and mashed garlic. Mix well until it forms a slightly gritty paste. Add a few drops of water if the mixture is too dry.
- Apply to teeth: Use a soft toothbrush to apply the mixture to your teeth gently. Avoid rubbing too hard to protect your enamel.
- Wait: Leave it on for 2 minutes only.
- Rinse thoroughly: Spit it out and rinse your mouth well with water. Brush with your regular toothpaste afterward to remove any garlic smell.
- Use with caution: Only use this method once a week to avoid damaging your enamel.
Note:
This is a natural home remedy, not a replacement for professional dental care. Garlic has antimicrobial properties, and baking soda helps remove surface stains. Always consult your dentist before trying DIY whitening treatments, especially if you have sensitive teeth or gum issues.
