2. Garlic Mouthwash
Pour the crushed garlic into the warm water and leave to infuse for a few minutes.
Strain the liquid.
Use the infusion to dissolve it, then gargle for about a minute before preparing the infusion.
This is an effective rinsing method to protect against antimicrobial properties.
To neutralize the odor
Garlic has a strong flavor, but it can be easily toned down:
Rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar.
Chew fresh parsley or mint leaves.
This will freshen your breath and reduce the characteristic odor.
Sensitivities and Precautions:
If you have sensitive teeth or gums, apply garlic with caution, as it may cause irritation. Start with a small amount or consult your dentist before introducing garlic into your daily routine.
Professional care remains mandatory.
Garlic can limit bacterial growth and prevent new tartar formation, but it cannot remove hardened plaque on its own. This is why it’s important to schedule regular checkups and cleanings with your dentist to maintain optimal oral health.
