Also, since swallowing this mouthwash can be harmful, be sure to keep this away from the kiddos.
- To get started, first combine both your salt and baking soda in a small container.
- Run your toothbrush under some warm running water, then swirl the bristles around in the baking soda-salt mixture.
- Brush your teeth normally, and spit out the homemade paste when finished.
- Now’s the time to move on to the best part—the mouthwash! This step is really simple. All you need to do is combine the ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide with the ½ cup of warm water and swish around in your mouth for about a minute or so.
- To remove as much of that sticky tartar as possible, use a toothpick on the hard-to-reach areas and rinse the excess away with cold water.
Repeat this up process to twice a week, but remember, this DIY dental routine isn’t meant to replace your daily flossing and brushing. Just think of it as a fast, fun, and economical way to make residual plaque a thing of the past. See, we said it would be easy!
