White vinegar kills bacteria and helps dissolve tartar, but it’s acidic, so use sparingly.
How to use:
-
Mix 2 teaspoons of white vinegar in a cup of warm water.
-
Add a pinch of salt.
-
Rinse your mouth once a day, 2–3 times per week.
🧂 7. Sea Salt & Water Rinse
Salt water is antibacterial and helps maintain oral hygiene, preventing tartar from hardening.
How to use:
-
Mix ½ teaspoon of sea salt in warm water.
-
Gargle and rinse daily.
🪥 8. Proper Brushing & Flossing (Most Effective)
No natural remedy works if your dental hygiene is inconsistent. The best natural tartar prevention is brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste will protect enamel while reducing plaque buildup.
⚠️ Things to Avoid
-
❌ Overusing lemon, vinegar, or baking soda (too much acid or abrasives damage enamel).
-
❌ Whitening strips and charcoal toothpaste too often (they erode enamel).
-
❌ Ignoring professional cleaning if tartar is already hardened – only dentists can fully remove it.
✅ Summary:
For natural tartar removal and teeth whitening:
-
Use baking soda (2–3 times a week),
-
Practice oil pulling daily,
-
Eat crunchy fruits/veggies,
-
Try natural rinses occasionally,
-
And most importantly, brush + floss consistently.
