Be your own dentist! Here are some tips for removing tartar buildup at home.

Tartar is a yellow or brown mineral deposit on teeth that can lead to periodontitis, especially if it builds up and isn’t removed. Most of you probably go to the dentist to address this problem, but you can also perform this procedure at home. Just keep in mind that these are more preventative measures, and none will remove tartar as quickly as your dentist once you have a buildup.

To remove tartar buildup at home, there are several treatment options:

Oral care

Baking soda
Water
Activated charcoal
