The Power of Garlic
Garlic contains the natural compound allicin, which is released when the clove is crushed. Allicin has a strong antimicrobial effect, capable of destroying bacteria in the mouth, preventing tartar buildup and reducing the risk of gum disease. With regular use, garlic not only cleans teeth, but can also gradually whiten them naturally.
How to Use Garlic for Oral Health
1. Garlic Paste
Crush a fresh garlic clove.
Apply the paste directly to your teeth and gums.
Leave on for 1-2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
Tip: If the flavor is too strong, mix the garlic paste with a pinch of fine salt. Salt enhances the antibacterial effect and acts as a mild abrasive that helps mechanically remove plaque.
