Spices against tartar: a well-kept secret

Clove is well-known for easing toothaches, but it does much more. Thanks to eugenol, a natural compound with strong antiseptic qualities, clove acts as a disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, and even a natural breath freshener.

Bay leaf, on the other hand, has cleansing and astringent properties. It acts like a little plant broom that scrubs away residue, polishes your enamel, and freshens your breath.
