Garlic, known for its strong aroma and health benefits, can also support oral health and potentially whiten teeth. It contains allicin, an antibacterial compound that fights oral bacteria, reduces plaque, and prevents stains. Garlic’s anti-inflammatory effects can also promote gum health. To use garlic for oral health, try garlic paste with baking soda, garlic mouth rinse, or a garlic oil massage. However, be cautious of garlic’s strong odor and consult a dentist if you have sensitive teeth. While garlic isn’t a substitute for whitening treatments, it can enhance oral hygiene and contribute to a brighter smile.
