Hello I can understand your concern regarding yellow stains. Yellow stains and tartar on teeth occur due to Kapha accumulation, poor oral hygiene, and excessive intake of tea, coffee, or tobacco. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅Ayurvedic Home Remedies

1. Oil Pulling (Gandusha)

Use Sesame oil or Coconut oil daily, early morning before brushing. Swish for 5–10 minutes and spit it out. Helps remove toxins, stains, and strengthens gums.

2. Brushing with Herbal Powders (Dantamanjan)

Use herbal powders like Triphala Churna, Trikatu, or Madhuka (Licorice) powder once daily. You can also use Patanjali Dant Kanti, Ayush Dant Manjan, or Vicco Vajradanti.

These reduce plaque, tartar, and whiten teeth naturally.

3. Baking Soda and Lemon (Occasionally)

Mix a pinch of baking soda with few drops of lemon juice; gently rub teeth once a week. Avoid overuse as it may erode enamel.

4. Clove and Neem

Chew a neem twig (Datun) or rub clove oil on gums twice weekly. Acts as antibacterial and prevents bad breath and plaque buildup.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE

Avoid tea, coffee, smoking, and sugary foods. Rinse mouth after every meal. Drink warm water after oily or heavy meals.

✅ Suggested Ayurvedic Formulations

Triphala Churna – for oral detox; can be used internally and externally (as mouth rinse).

Irimedadi Taila – oil pulling or gargle daily for healthy gums.

Sudanta Toothpaste – herbal toothpaste to reduce tartar.

If tartar is very hard, a dental cleaning (scaling) may be needed once, followed by Ayurvedic oral hygiene to prevent recurrence.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Yellow stains, hardened plaque, and tartar on teeth can be a source of concern, and Ayurveda offers some natural solutions for maintaining oral hygiene. While there may not be an Ayurvedic toothpaste specifically branded for this purpose, some traditional home remedies and practices can help in reducing these issues naturally.

Firstly, oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that can be quite effective. Swishing a tablespoon of sesame or coconut oil in your mouth for about 10 to 15 minutes daily can help in reducing plaque build-up and prevent gum diseases. This method helps in drawing out toxins and improving oral hygiene.

Herbal powders like Triphala can be used as a tooth powder by mixing it with a little water to form a paste. Gently brush your teeth with this paste, focusing on the gums and teeth surfaces. Triphala has antimicrobial properties that helps in preventing dental issues and maintaining oral health.

Neem sticks or Dattun has been used traditionally for cleaning teeth. Chewing on a neem twig and using it as a brush can help remove bacteria and plaque. Neem has strong anti-bacterial properties that can help protect oral health and reduce staining.

Limiting intake of colored and sugary foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and sodas can prevent further staining and plaque build-up. Additionally, it’s beneficial to brush your teeth after these consumptions to minimize stains.

Lastly it’s important to say, if tartar is already hardened, it’s crucial to visit a dentist for a professional cleaning. Ayurvedic methods are more preventive and supportive than corrective for existing severe conditions. Ensure a balanced diet with adequate calcium and avoid smoking, as these lifestyle choices contribute significantly to oral health.

2. Herbal Tooth Powder: Ingredients: Triphala powder: 1 tsp Neem powder: 1 tsp Rock salt (Saindhav): ½ tsp Clove powder: ¼ tsp Preparation: Mix the powders thoroughly and store in an airtight container. Method: Dip a damp toothbrush into the powder and gently brush teeth for 2–3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

HELLO KUMAR,

Yellow stain and tartar are caused by -plaques (soft film of bacteria ) hardening into tartar if not cleaned regularly -Staining foods/drinks= tea, coffee, tobacco, betel nut, wine - poor brushing habits or use of hard water -aging (natural enamel thinning , showing dentin below)

Once plaque hardens into tartar, no toothpaste can remove it ompletely- only scaling/cleaning by dentist will help remove that

WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS

IMMEDIATE MEASURES

1) PROFESSIONAL DENTAL CLEANING (scaling and polishing) -removes all tartar and most yellow stains safely =do this every 6-12 months

2) WHITENING TOOTHPASTE OR PWODER -look for ingredients like Hydrogen peroxide or carbide perioxide -baking soda -activated charcoal

3) ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH + FLOSS OR INTERDENTAL BRUSH- helps prevent plaque buildup

TOOTHPASTE THAT CAN HELP these ca help reduce yellow stains and plaque (nut to hardened tartar) -colgate visible white / Colgate total advanced -sensodyne stain removal -creast 3D white -himalaya sparkling white- herbal , mild whitening - dabur re/ vice vajradanti -reduces bacterial load

Ayurveda views oral issues as imbalance of kapha and pitta doshas, often aggravated by poor digestion or ama (toxins)

A) BRUSHING HERBS Use herbal tooth powders or pastes with -Triphala- cleanses and strengthens gum -Neem= antibacterial -Babbol= strengthens gum -Clove oil= reduces odor and infection -Miswak= natural whitening. antibacterial

RECIPE -mix triphala powder + fine salt + mustard oil (a few drops). rub gently on teeth and gums for 1-2 minutes then rinse with warm water

B) OIL PULLING -Swish 1 tbsp of sesame oil or coconut oil in the mouth for 5-10 min, then spit out and rinse -removes plaque causing bacteria -helps whiten teeth naturaly -strengthens gum

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -Avoid= excessive tea, coffee, smoking, tobacco , sugary foods -Include= fibrous foods (apples, carrots), water intake, and triphala at bedtime for detox -Practice tongue scraping every morning

AYURVEDIC FORMUALTION

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water

2) DASHAN SANSKAR CHURNA= for brushing

3) KHADIRADI VATI= chewable tablets 4-5 / day for oral bacteria

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
