Home remedies are usefull but shall be practiced only for short period to get rid in emergency situation, clinical treatment should be done, for long term effect before trying home remedies, visit a dentist, simple cleaning shall solve your issue.

Well in my opinion you should first consult a dentist regarding this,all you might require is a session of oral cleaning followed by oral hygiene instruction for better maintenance of the oral region.

Dental consultation is required to rule out the cause. And then accordingly go foe treatment if required. If there's no cavity then you have to improve your brushing technique.

Please do not use randomly suggested home remedies for such problems.... it does not take much to get yourself examined properly by a dentist..... most likely you will be requiring a session of teeth cleaning to get rid of this problem..... Regards.....
