Looking for a quick, natural, and affordable way to brighten your smile at home? This simple DIY remedy using baking soda and garlic might surprise you! It helps remove stains, kill bacteria, and leave your teeth feeling clean and fresh. 🦷✨
Why Baking Soda & Garlic?
Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate)
✔️ Gently exfoliates and removes surface stains.
✔️ Balances mouth pH — reduces acidity that causes yellowing.
Garlic
✔️ Natural antibacterial and antifungal.
✔️ Fights germs that cause plaque and bad breath.
✔️ Strengthens gums and cleans teeth deeply.
📝 Ingredients:
-
1 small clove of fresh garlic 🧄 (crushed into a paste)
-
1 tsp baking soda 🥄
-
A few drops of water or coconut oil
How to Use:
1. Prepare the Mixture:
-
Crush the garlic until it’s like a paste.
-
Add baking soda and a few drops of water (or coconut oil) to form a smooth paste.
2. Apply:
-
Use a soft toothbrush or your finger to apply the paste to your teeth.
-
Gently brush in circular motions for about 1-2 minutes.
-
Avoid brushing too hard to protect the enamel.
3. Rinse:
-
Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

You can follow with your regular toothpaste if desired.
⚠️ Important Tips:
