Introduction:
Oral hygiene is essential not only for a confident smile but also for overall health. While regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are key, some natural remedies can support your oral care routine. This simple homemade recipe uses everyday ingredients to help reduce tartar buildup and gently whiten teeth, giving your smile a fresh boost—naturally and affordably.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of salt (optional)
1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide (3% solution)
1 tablespoon of water
Toothbrush
Cup for mixing
Preparation:
In a small cup or bowl, combine the baking soda and salt (if using). Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive to help scrub away plaque and stains, while salt can boost the cleansing effect.
Add the hydrogen peroxide and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth paste forms.
Dip your toothbrush into the mixture and brush your teeth gently for about 2 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with water and follow up with your regular toothpaste if desired.
Use this remedy 2–3 times a week to avoid over-abrasion.
Presentation and Storage Tips:
Always mix a fresh batch for each use to preserve the effectiveness of the hydrogen peroxide.
Store your dry ingredients separately and only combine when needed.
Keep hydrogen peroxide in a dark, cool place, away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability.
