Recipe: Remove Plaque & Tartar From Your Teeth With This Natural Rinse

When it comes to your oral hygiene, you should not be slacking with general maintenance. Your teeth are like helpless puppies and it is your job to take care of them. Leaving your teeth to fend for themselves can lead to a variety of oral health conditions such as tooth decay, gingivitis, halitosis, or gum inflammation.

The development of oral diseases is only the first sign of neglecting your oral hygiene. Some oral diseases can lead to the development of other diseases that affect the whole body. Keeping your mouth clean and healthy not only keeps your teeth in good shape, but it also helps out the rest of your body. Additionally, you won’t have to dread going to the dentist if you practice good oral hygiene.

Most commercial oral hygiene products are replete with a variety of chemicals. Rather than putting these chemicals into your body, there are many natural products that are beneficial for your oral and overall health. For example, there are numerous anti-inflammatory and antibacterial herbs that can keep your teeth and gums healthy. In fact, the natural rinses (below) can help remove tartar and reduce plaque build up.

Note: You still have to brush your teeth and floss, even if you use these natural mouth rinses. Sadly, there is no replacement for flossing and brushing. You can also brush with activated charcoal to naturally whiten your teeth.
