To try garlic at home, “crush a clove, mix with a pinch of salt, and apply the paste to your teeth.” Leave it on for just one minute, then rinse thoroughly. Do this no more than once a week.
Be careful—not to overuse it. “Garlic’s acidity can damage enamel if overused.” Keep brushing, flossing, and always talk to your dentist before starting new treatments.
Garlic might not replace toothpaste, but it could be a powerful natural helper for whiter, healthier teeth.
