How to Remove Tartar and Plaque from Your Teeth Without a Dentist: Turmeric and Salt

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp salt

Few drops of water or coconut oil

Instructions:

Mix into a paste.

Brush gently for 2 minutes.

Rinse thoroughly.

🪥 Additional Tips to Prevent Plaque/Tartar

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and replace it every 3 months.

Floss daily.

Rinse with antibacterial mouthwash or saltwater.

Avoid sugary snacks and drinks.

Drink plenty of water to wash away food particles.

🚫 What NOT to Expect:

These remedies won’t remove hard tartar that’s already calcified.

Avoid aggressive scrubbing with salt—it can harm enamel and gums.

✅ When to See a Dentist:

You see yellow or brown hardened deposits at the gumline.

You have persistent bad breath or gum bleeding.

It’s been more than 6 months since your last dental cleaning.
