Prepare the Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger and lemon juice. Add baking soda if using, and mix until smooth.
Apply to Teeth:
Dip a clean toothbrush into the mixture and gently brush your teeth for 1-2 minutes. Be gentle to avoid enamel damage, as lemon juice is acidic.
Rinse Thoroughly:
Rinse your mouth well with water to remove the mixture completely. Avoid eating or drinking acidic foods/drinks for the next hour to protect your enamel.
Why This Remedy Works
Lemon Juice: Naturally acidic, it helps lift surface stains but should be used sparingly to protect enamel.
Ginger: Antibacterial properties help freshen breath and reduce oral bacteria.
Baking Soda (Optional): A mild abrasive that gently scrubs away stains without harming teeth when used carefully.
