🦷 Tartar (calculus)
- Tartar is hardened plaque.
- Once it forms, it cannot be removed at home.
- Scraping, acids, or DIY mixes can:
- Damage enamel
- Cause gum recession
- Make teeth more yellow long-term
👉 Only professional dental cleaning removes tartar safely.
🍄 “Eliminates fungus” claim
- Oral fungal infections (like thrush) require medical diagnosis and antifungal treatment.
- Home remedies do not cure fungal infections and may make them worse.
⚠️ Common ingredients in these posts (DO NOT USE)
These are often hidden in the “recipe”:
- Lemon or vinegar → acid erosion
- Baking soda daily → enamel wear
- Hydrogen peroxide misuse → burns gums
- Salt scrubs → micro-scratches teeth
They may look white temporarily because enamel is damaged — not because teeth are healthier.
