Cloves and bay leaves naturally whiten teeth and fight tartar. Cloves, with their antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, combat bacteria and gum swelling. Bay leaves, being antibacterial, reduce tartar buildup.
To use: Grind 1 tsp of cloves and 2-3 bay leaves into a fine powder. Wet your toothbrush, dip it into the mixture, brush stained areas, let it sit for a minute, and rinse.
Repeat this process twice weekly for optimal results.
