Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda and ½ tablespoon of salt in a bowl.
Dip your toothbrush or a moistened cotton swab in it and brush your teeth for 3 minutes with this antibacterial mixture which is active on calcified tartar.
Rinse your mouth, then mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with a little warm water and gargle for a minute. Dental tartar will be softened thanks to the action of bicarbonate, salt and lemon.
With a toothpick, remove the tartar, taking care not to hurt your gums without scraping too hard.
At the end, gargle with a homemade sanitizing mouthwash made from cloves. Infuse 5 cloves in 25 cl of lukewarm water for 10 minutes. Filter and use the infusion as a mouthwash. Cloves are known for their anesthetic, antiseptic and antibacterial action.
Use this anti-tartar home remedy only once a week, so as not to damage tooth enamel.

PREVENTING PLAQUE AND TARTAR

Regular brushing and good dental hygiene are essential to prevent the formation of tartar on the teeth. Brushing your teeth after each meal removes plaque and prevents tartar formation, not forgetting to floss daily. Use a good quality, medium fiber or soft toothbrush and replace it every 3 to 4 months. Finish your brushing by gargling with an antiseptic mouthwash. Between meals, chewing sugar-free gum will help you salivate and prevent plaque buildup.

Scaling by your dentist is recommended once a year.
