Opting for a regular dental cleaning gives your teeth that sparkly white look. However, they might become discolored and appear dull no sooner than later. 

Even if you floss or brush regularly, the color of your teeth will change by the day. And this is because food particles mix with bacteria produced in the mouth, leading to a sticky film commonly known as tartar or plaque.

Not to worry, there are homemade remedies that can help you get rid of tartar. They include: 

1. Baking Soda: This helps to neutralize harmful acids from the things you eat, hence eliminating bacteria and leaving your teeth whiter. To use it: put baking soda on a wet toothbrush, leave for 10 to 15 minutes, and then rinse. Repeat this daily. 
2. White Vinegar: This is an acetic acid, which means that it is effective in preventing infections and killing bacteria in the mouth. To use: mix two tablespoons of white vinegar and a cup of warm water. This water should contain salt. Gargle the result once a day to eliminate tartar between your gum and teeth.
3. Aloe Vera and Glycerine: Add half a cup of baking soda in a cup of water that has a tablespoon of aloe vera gel. Also include lemon essential oils, 3 tablespoons of vegetable glycerine, and then scrub your teeth with the mixture. 

You can also use orange peels and sesame seeds as a dental scrub to remove tartar from your teeth and gums. Give it a try, and see what you can learn about caring for your own teeth.
