There are many causes of tartar buildup, one of the main ones being poor oral hygiene in many people, which, combined with the consumption of salty foods, creates the ideal scenario for its formation. Today, we're going to show you a recipe that will allow you to remove tartar and whiten your teeth naturally, without having to go to the dentist or spend a lot of money on expensive procedures.
What is tartar and why does it form on teeth?
Tartar is the accumulation of hardened bacterial plaque that forms on teeth and can even penetrate below the gum line, causing gum problems.
There are two main types of tartar:
Supragingival tartar: this is tartar found on the surface of the teeth and above the gum line.
Subgingival tartar: this is tartar found below the gum line and can lead to periodontal pockets.

It is recommended to floss at least once a day (yes, in addition to brushing).
With mouthwash, we can eliminate bacteria that have settled in areas less accessible to the toothbrush (although mouthwash does not replace a regular routine of brushing twice a day and using dental floss, it helps remove excess food debris from the teeth).
Using a dental irrigator allows you to clean even areas inaccessible to other systems, such as under the gum line.
