Plaque is one of the most common dental problems, affecting thousands of people across the UK. Here are three great tips to reduce and remove plaque at home. Studies carried out in the 1990s revealed that 7 in 10 adults had plaque on their teeth. In the vast majority of cases, it’s not a severe condition. Still, if left untreated for an extended period, it can result in bad breath, discolouration of the teeth and even gum disease.
If you’re slightly dentist-phobic, you may want to try one of these excellent DIY treatments at home.
You’ll likely be familiar with the term ‘gum disease’ but perhaps not quite so familiar with the effects of the condition. If you don’t address the problem, you could find yourself experiencing a wide variety of dental issues, including painful, inflamed gums, smelly breath, pus coming from the gum and, in severe cases, you may even lose the affected tooth.
It’s pretty easy to see if you’ve got plaque, as you can scrape it away from your tooth using your fingernail or a specialist dental scraper. However, as any dentist will tell you, a simple scrape is not good enough, especially with those hard-to-reach back teeth!
Conventional advice dictates that a visit to the dentist is what you need to address the problem successfully. However, you may be able to treat the condition yourself at home, using one of three ‘secret’ plaque-removal methods, which helps save time and money in the long run.
Of course, if you’re more comfortable going to the dentist, that is the action you should take. However, if, like many others, you’re slightly dentist-phobic, you may want to try one of these excellent DIY treatments at home. Best of all, they only include natural ingredients, making them entirely safe for use.
Walnuts not only taste great, but they’re also perfect for your teeth. Even when eaten, they offer great benefits, as they’re rich in folic acid, iron, thiamine, vitamin E, vitamin B6, potassium, zinc and magnesium.
However, this treatment doesn’t require you to eat them but to wash your teeth with them! Here’s how to do it.
You will need:
Put the walnut husks into a saucepan. Add water, then cook the mixture for about 15 minutes on the hob. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, soak your toothbrush in the mixture and thoroughly clean your teeth for five minutes. The result? Your plaque will be significantly reduced.
Treatment 2: Sunflower Seeds and Linden Flower
Sunflower seeds and linden flowers are excellent for your teeth. Here’s how you use them.
You will need:
To make your plaque-busting mix, add all the ingredients to a saucepan and cook on the hob (on gentle heat) for about 30 minutes. Then, wash your teeth in the mixture, preferably after eating.
Apple cider vinegar is beneficial for removing plaque, but it is potent! As a result, we recommend only using it once a week.
You will need:
This one requires no preparation. Soak your toothbrush in the vinegar, then brush your teeth as usual. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly to ensure no vinegar remains on your teeth, as it can damage your enamel.

I have bought these teabags as gifts and recently for myself. We all found that the tea has a very calming effect. Will definitely be buying some more.
The service from purchase to delivery is very efficient
I’m coming to the end of my second month using The Natural Health Market's Marine Collagen Powder, I can confidently say it has been a game changer—especially for my hair! I have noticed visible improvements, it has also become an easy and welcome addition to my daily routine.
Every morning, I mix two spoons of collagen powder (roughly 15g) with a teaspoon of organic cacao powder and a teaspoon of coconut sugar into my decaf coffee. I blend it with cold milk first then top up with hot water from the kettle. It tastes really good, feels like a treat while also supporting my well-being.
I’ve dubbed these three products the Power Throuple! The combination of marine collagen, rich cacao and coconut sugar, blends well, makes a great tasting and satisfying brew, keeps hunger at bay and delivers results!
These bags allow me to have a drink and help boost my immune system as well…it’s a win win.
Ia have been buying Himalayan salt from Natural health Market for years. It's the best I've tried so far.
Not to mention all the other stuff the sale like teas, etc.
I have replaced my wake up coffee with a mug of organic ginger tea every morning for over 6 months and feel a real boost to the day. I find them great for my digestive and immune systems. Dealing with The Natural Health Market is seamless with orders arriving as expected. Thank you to the team.
My 1st time of tasting hibiscus tea and I love it.
Steep for 5 mins and enjoy.
I can't comment on health benefits as ice only used it for a short while.
It's a little bit of me time.
Purchased these capsules as advised by a health professional. Found this company which offer organic products which I prefer . Been taking for a couple of weeks so is is a little early to give a true statement. Will continue to take this supplement as I'm hoping it will help with inflammation. Will definitely purchase again .

I absolutely love this tea, and I'm quite choosy with my teas. It's light, with a slight sweetness and not bitter. The perfect tea for anytime of day, and great for keeping hydration levels up when water gets boring! I keep coming back for more 😊
Really happy with this protein powder, it mixes so nicely and tastes amazing blended with a banana and some strawberries or whatever fruit you like, even on its own it tastes nice too! It’s worth the money and a good team behind the name, thank you !
I've been using these capsules for many years, good quality and easy to digest.
