**Remedies for Removing Dental Plaque Naturally**
1. **Baking Soda**: Can be used as a natural scrub to remove tartar and neutralize acids in the mouth.
2. **Baking Soda Effectiveness**: Proven to remove plaque more effectively than products without sodium bicarbonate (Journal of Clinical Dentistry, 2008).
3. **Aloe Vera and Glycerin**: Aloe vera's antimicrobial properties help keep teeth free from plaque and fight bad breath.
4. **Orange Peel**: Rubbing orange peel on teeth can whiten them, prevent stains, and fight microorganisms.
5. **Sesame Seeds**: Can be used as a gentle dental scrub to remove plaque and tartar.
6. **Vitamin C Paste Mask**: Mashing fruits/veggies with vitamin C (e.g., tomatoes, strawberries, oranges) can help kill bacteria and freshen breath.
7. **Vinegar Solution**: White vinegar with acetic acid prevents demineralization of tooth enamel and plaque accumulation (International Journal of Advanced Health Sciences, 2014).
8. **Cloves**: Have anti-plaque properties, destroying microbes that cause plaque (Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, 2014).
9. **Rosemary Essential Oil**: Acts as a disinfectant, preventing cavities, plaque buildup, and bad breath.
**General Oral Health Facts**
10. **Plaque Definition**: Bacteria accumulating on teeth, producing lactic acid that demineralizes enamel.
11. **Tartar Definition**: A porous substance on the outside of teeth, formed from saliva, food, grime, and dirt.
12. **Tartar's Effect on Plaque**: Provides a habitat for plaque to settle and build up.
13. **Consequences of Untreated Plaque and Tartar**: Can lead to caries, tooth loss, gum diseases (e.g., chronic gingivitis), coronary disease, and diabetes.
14. **Cheese's Oral Health Benefit**: Helps produce alkaline saliva, protecting teeth and neutralizing plaque acid.
15. **Other Oral Health Tips**:
