How to Remove Plaque Buildup from Teeth

Have a little time before your next dental cleaning, but want to give your teeth a clean boost? Try this method to get the fuzzy off your teeth! This method also helps to whiten your teeth. Be sure not to do this regularly, as baking soda can break down the enamel on your teeth.

2. Put some baking soda on your dry toothbrush, and brush your teeth like normal. For a guideline click here.
