Plaque is a hard, sticky film that builds up on teeth. If teeth are not cleaned properly, plaque can accumulate and lead to gum disease and other oral health issues. Here are some natural measures to prevent and remove plaque:
Baking Soda
Use a teaspoon of baking soda alone or mixed with a pinch of salt or toothpaste. Brush your teeth with this mixture and rinse with warm water.
Plaque accumulation can lead to gum disease if teeth are not cleaned properly.
Guava Leaves
Chew a few guava leaves daily, or take an unripe guava, sprinkle some salt on it, and chew once or twice a day.
White Vinegar
The acetic acid in white vinegar promotes demineralization of tooth enamel. Mix half a cup of water with 2 teaspoons of white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Use this mixture to rinse your mouth twice a day.
Orange Peel
Rub your teeth with an orange peel for about 2 minutes, then rinse. This is an inexpensive and effective way to remove plaque.
Aloe Vera
Mix 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel with 4 teaspoons of glycerin, 5 teaspoons of baking soda, a few drops of lemon essential oil, and 1 cup of water. Apply this mixture to your teeth daily until plaque and tartar are removed.
Tomato Paste
Vitamin C-rich foods like tomatoes have antibacterial properties and help eliminate oral bacteria. Apply tomato paste to your teeth, leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse. Do this twice a week until you notice a difference.

Note: Brush your teeth at least twice a day, morning and night. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. You can also use dental floss or a small brush to clean between your teeth. Rinse your mouth with an alcohol-free antibacterial mouthwash twice daily. Avoid tobacco products and smoking. Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health and detecting any issues early on.
