Method Best For Frequency Prep Time

Dried Powder Gentle stain removal 2–3 times/week 10 minutes (initial drying)
How to Incorporate It Into Your Routine for Best Results
Start slow to see how your mouth responds.
Use the mouthwash twice a day after brushing—swish for 30–60 seconds.
Try the paste or powder 2–3 times per week, always followed by regular brushing.
Combine with good habits: Brush twice daily, floss, and limit sugary foods.
Many people notice fresher breath within days and a subtle brightening over weeks. Consistency is key here.
But remember, this complements—not replaces—your fluoride toothpaste for cavity protection.
Extra Tips to Maximize Benefits and Stay Safe
Use young, tender leaves for milder flavor.
If you have sensitive teeth, dilute the mouthwash further.
Avoid overusing the powder to prevent excess abrasion.
Pair with a balanced diet rich in crunchy fruits and veggies for natural cleaning.
