Why Garlic?
Garlic contains allicin, a compound that is released when garlic is crushed. Allicin has potent antimicrobial properties that help kill bacteria in the mouth that can lead to tartar buildup and gum disease. This natural compound not only helps clean your teeth but can also assist in naturally whitening them over time.
How to Use Garlic for Oral Health
- Garlic Paste: Crush a fresh garlic clove into a paste and apply it directly to your teeth and gums. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water. For a less intense experience, you can mix the garlic paste with a small amount of salt, which can boost the antibacterial effects and act as a gentle abrasive to help remove tartar.
- Garlic Mouthwash: For a less direct approach, you can make a garlic mouthwash. Steep minced garlic in warm water for a few minutes, then strain. Use this garlic-infused water as a mouthwash, swishing it around your mouth for about a minute before rinsing.
