4 natural ways of removing plaque from your teeth
- Lemon juice
Lemon has great teeth whitening properties and can also remove the tartar buildup from your teeth. However, this method shouldn’t be used often as the acids in the citrus fruit can damage the enamel of your teeth and cause problems. To use the treatment, just mix ½ a cup of lemon juice with ½ a cup of warm water, then swish the solution in your mouth every day for 5 minutes.
- Strawberries
Strawberries contain special compounds which can easily remove the plaque from your teeth. They are not as corrosive as lemon juice, so you can safely use them often. To remove the plaque from your teeth, just rub them with a strawberry cut in half every day for 7 minutes.
- Parsley leaves
Chop some parsley leaves and apply them on your teeth, then leave them to work for 5 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Repeating the process every day will reduce the plaque on your teeth effectively.
