Introduction:
Tartar buildup—those stubborn, yellowish deposits that cling to your teeth—can be both unsightly and harmful to your oral health. While professional cleanings are essential, what if you could gently reduce tartar at home between visits without harsh chemicals or expensive products? According to my nana, there’s a surprisingly simple method that takes almost zero effort and helps maintain a clean, fresh smile. Passed down through generations, this natural trick requires just a few common household items and a little consistency. Here’s how it works.
1 teaspoon baking soda
A few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide
Soft-bristled toothbrush
Optional: 1 drop of peppermint essential oil (for flavor and freshness)
Small bowl for mixing
Make the Paste:
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with just enough hydrogen peroxide to form a thick paste. Add a drop of peppermint oil if desired.
Apply the Paste to Your Toothbrush:
