THE BEST WAY TO REMOVE DENTAL PLAQUE AND TARTAR NATURALLY 

While they may not be something you think about every day, your teeth should be important to you. Not brushing your teeth well or regularly can lead to gross plaque buildup, bad breath, and even dangerous gum diseases.  

So why is plaque such a big deal?

Everyone talks about plaque and how dealing with it is such a major component of proper dental health, but what’s the big issue?  Plaque is horrible. It is a soft, sticky film that builds up on your teeth over time due to the millions of microscopic bacteria that call your mouth home. If you don’t spend the proper time looking after your mouth, too much of this plaque can lead to gum disease, cavities, and tooth decay.

Even worse, if you don’t deal with plaque buildup in a timely fashion, it will turn into tartar. Tartar is a harder relative of plaque that is more difficult to remove and can cause your gums to bleed and become infected.

Way To Remove Plaque & Tartar 

1. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is on par with mouthwash when it comes to banishing bad breath and getting rid of plaque. It is also antimicrobial which means that is an effective method for killing harmful bacteria in your mouth before it causes a problem. Slit open an aloe vera leaf and extract the pulp. If you don’t have an aloe vera plant, you can purchase Aloe vera gel at most health food stores or even from this page on Amazon. Apply the paste directly to your teeth and gum line, being sure to rub it in well. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and rinse your mouth with cold water, brush regularly. Repeat twice daily for best results.

2. Proper brushing technique

Brushing your teeth should take a full two minutes. Spend the time to focus on what you’re doing. Use short, gentle strokes (no vigorous scrubbing), paying close attention to the gumline, back teeth and other hard to reach areas. Brush your tongue as well for fresher breath throughout the day. Replace your toothbrush after three months of use or whenever it starts to show wear.

Along with all these methods for removing plaque and tartar buildup at home, be sure to schedule regular cleanings with a dental professional, as well as keeping up with regular brushing and a healthy diet. Brush your teeth twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush to keep a handle on the plaque, as well as implementing some of these home remedies in your daily routine.
