When to Use: This can be used once a day to maintain fresh breath and improve gum health.
3. Carrot and Baking Soda Teeth Polishing Paste
Instructions:
Grate the ends of a carrot into a fine paste.
Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the carrot paste to enhance the abrasive action.
Use this paste as a natural tooth polish, applying it to your toothbrush and gently brushing for about 2 minutes.
Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
When to Use: You can use this method 2-3 times a week for gentle whitening and plaque removal.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Fresh Is Best: For maximum effectiveness, use fresh carrot ends. If you can, try to use organic carrots to avoid pesticides.
Easy to Store: If you’ve prepared a batch of grated carrot ends for the polishing paste or rinse, store the mixture in the fridge for up to 2 days. Make sure to cover it in an airtight container.
Incorporate Regularly: Make carrot ends a regular part of your oral care routine, alongside brushing and flossing, for long-term benefits.
