How to Use Garlic for Oral Health
1. Garlic Paste
Crush a fresh garlic clove and apply the paste directly to your teeth and gums.
Leave it on for 1–2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
- Pro Tip: If the taste feels too strong, mix the garlic paste with a small pinch of salt. This combination enhances antibacterial effects and adds a gentle abrasive action that helps remove tartar.
2. Garlic Mouthwash
Steep minced garlic in warm water for several minutes, then strain it.
Use the garlic-infused water as a mouthwash, swishing it around your mouth for about one minute before rinsing.
It’s a quick, refreshing, and natural way to protect your teeth and gums.
