Get the ingredients ready.
Grind the dried bay leaves and cloves together using a mortar and pestle until they become a fine powder. When these two are mixed together, they create a strong blend that has both the cleaning and germ-fighting qualities needed for taking care of your mouth.
Use:
Wet your toothbrush and dip it in the powder. You can also mix the powder with a little water to make a paste.
Clean your teeth with the mixture, paying attention to spots where tartar and stains usually build up. Brush softly in circles, being careful not to press too hard because the powder can bother your gums if used too much.
Wait and rinse.
Let the mixture stay on your teeth for around 2 minutes. This brief time is enough for the ingredients to act on the tartar and stains.
Rinse your mouth well with water to remove all leftover powder. Continue with your usual brushing routine if you wish.
