Dark stains on teeth trouble a large number of people. It’s essentially a milder form of tartar that settles on the enamel and causes a change in the enamel’s shade.
Dark stains on teeth
We offer you a collection of proven tips that will help you remove these stains and gain a radiant smile. In addition, they also eliminate bacteria in the oral cavity. We’ll also tell you how to use these methods correctly so that you don’t do more harm than good.
Sesame seeds
Sesame seeds are great in many ways: use them to prepare a salad or to remove tartar/stains. They act as a natural abrasive while also cleaning the teeth.
Take a full tablespoon of seeds into your mouth and chew well. You must try to form some kind of paste and not swallow it. Then gently clean your teeth with this paste using a dry toothbrush. Do this twice a week.
Clove – a miracle for the whole mouth
This spice is used as an effective remedy for toothaches. It also fights microbes in the mouth. Crush cloves (or buy ready-made powder), add a little olive oil and apply the mixture to the stains.

Another excellent tip is to regularly chew a clove to remove bad breath and kill bacteria. Try it instead of ordinary chewing gum.
Baking soda and salt
Start with this simple but effective method of removing dental plaque and tartar. Baking soda is a powerful agent that has an antibacterial effect and helps whiten teeth.
Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with a pinch of salt and dip a moistened toothbrush into this mixture, or add it to your regular toothpaste. Do not clean your teeth this way more than once a week, because it can lead to enamel damage.
Orange peel
Have you ever wondered what to do with orange peels? Now you know. Citrus fruits are generally good for removing stains on the enamel because they contain acids.
You can directly rub your teeth with the white part of the peel for 2-3 minutes or make a gentle paste out of it and apply it to the teeth. Regardless of which you choose, then thoroughly rinse your mouth with lukewarm water. Repeat several times a week.
Lemon juice
For even better results try lemon juice. Citric acid not only dissolves plaque but also slightly whitens teeth.
Dip a toothbrush into fresh lemon juice and gently brush over the teeth. Rinse well. Remember that lemon juice is a very strong substance and can cause tooth erosion, so use it carefully and only occasionally!
Hydrogen peroxide and mouthwash
Hydrogen peroxide has antimicrobial properties, as does mouthwash. Mix 1 teaspoon of antiseptic mouthwash with 3 teaspoons of a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Gargle with this mixture for several minutes and finish the procedure with plain water.
Coconut oil
Another thing you can find in your kitchen cabinet is coconut oil. Oil pulling is very popular today for a radiant smile. The oil absorbs impurities in the mouth and also has an antibacterial effect against microorganisms that live there.
Swish 1-2 tablespoons of oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes (it tastes great!), then spit it out and rinse with warm water.
Strawberries and tomatoes
Both tomatoes and strawberries are rich in vitamin C and you can use them if citrus fruits are too strong for you. Take one, scoop out the pulp and apply it to your teeth. Leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse your mouth.
Aloe vera and glycerin
This mixture is literally a bomb for your teeth. Mix 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel, 4 teaspoons of vegetable glycerin, 10 drops of lemon essential oil and 4 tablespoons of baking soda in 1 cup of water and stir until you get a smooth paste.
Brush your teeth with this gentle paste once a day until you find that the tartar becomes less visible. Then repeat once every 3 to 4 days. Aloe vera helps heal teeth and gums and lemon oil fights bacteria.
