Prevent Tartar and Plaque Build up on Your Teeth with This Natural Remedies

Keeping your teeth clean and healthy is an essential part of proper oral hygiene. Plaque on your teeth is usually caused by poor oral hygiene or some people are genetically predisposed to it. If not treated, it continues to buildup and hardens into tartar, leading to gingivitis, or inflammation of the gum tissue. 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.

There are solutions for achieving good oral hygiene. While traditional brushing and flossing is certainly a benefit, there are natural solutions as well. Below you have some home remedies that you can use to help treat tartar and plaque build-up.

1. Aloe vera
   Aloe vera can be used to clean your teeth and gently remove build-up. You can opt to use only the gel from the plant, or you can mix it with vegetable glycerin, lemon, and baking soda to create a scrub.
2. Cheese
   Eating cheese before meals can help neutralize acid that promotes plaque production on the teeth. Older cheeses like Swiss or Cheddar work best.
3. Strawberries and tomatoes
   We suggest leaving strawberries and tomatoes on your teeth for five minutes. Both foods are rich in Vitamin C which promotes stronger teeth that can resist plaque. The paste can also soften the tartar build-up so that it rinses away easily.
4. Baking soda
   Small amount of baking soda on your toothbrush can work as a natural scrub that can remove a build-up on your teeth.
5. Figs
   Chewing figs can work to remove plaque and clean teeth. Chewing 3-4 figs can slowly activate the salivary glands to promote cleaning.
6. Orange peel
   Rubbing an orange peel on your teeth and allowing the residue to settle on your teeth overnight, can be beneficial. Oranges not only work to remove bacteria that forms starter but can also naturally whiten the teeth.
7. Vinegar

If done regularly, a vinegar rinse can help remove tarter on the teeth. To use, mix two tablespoons of vinegar, one tablespoon of salt, and four ounces of water.
