It won't make your breath smell great, but it can help in treating gum disease. Garlic is rich in antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Garlic can be used just like toothpaste. Mix a few cloves of garlic with a tablespoon of water; mix it in the blender and apply the mixture onto the gums. Brush the teeth as normal, making sure not to swallow any garlic. Then, rinse the mouth with water to get rid of the remaining garlic. Afterward, brush your teeth again with normal toothpaste to eliminate any lingering smell.
