Mix toothpaste with salt or baking soda

When brushing your teeth, you can mix a little toothpaste with salt or baking soda to remove plaque on your teeth. Baking soda and salt both have antibacterial properties and help eliminate bad breath and remove plaque on your teeth. Combining baking soda/salt with toothpaste will increase the effectiveness of cleaning your teeth.

However, it is important to note that you should not use this method too often because it can damage tooth enamel. It is best to use it a maximum of 2 times/week.
