Keeping your teeth clean and healthy is an essential part of proper oral hygiene. Although many people don’t think so, the teeth are essential for proper overall health. Everything we put in our mouth is attacking our teeth, and bacteria can multiply incredibly fast on our teeth, attacking them at an alarming rate which is often the main cause of tooth decay.
Besides bacteria, dental plaque is another big problem for our teeth. Removing dental plaque can be done only at a dentist, but this is an expensive and time-consuming process which is why everyone hopes for a simpler solution. Luckily, it exists – we’re going to show you how to eliminate the plaque on your teeth with the help of baking soda!
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda
- ½ a cup of mineral water
- ½ a teaspoon of salt water
- ½ a cup of hydrogen peroxide
- ½ a cup of warm water
- ½ a cup of cold water
- Antiseptic mouthwash
- Toothbrush
- Dental floss
Preparation
Mix the baking soda with the salt, then wet your toothbrush in warm water and dip it in the mixture. Gently rub your teeth with it and spit out after a few seconds. The next step is to combine the hydrogen peroxide with the warm water and swish the mixture in your mouth for about a minute. Afterwards, spit it out and rinse with the ½ cup of cold water.
Now, rub the yellow tartar from your teeth with dental floss, but be careful not to scratch the gums as the floss can damage them. Finally, rinse your mouth with the antiseptic mouthwash. For best results, we suggest repeating the process every two days.
TIPS FOR A BEAUTIFUL SMILE
In order to keep your teeth healthy and free of plaque, you can use strawberries and tomatoes and vitamin C-rich foods in general. Simply cut these fruits in half and rub them on your teeth, then let the juices work for 5 minutes – you can do the same with lemons, oranges, papaya or grapefruit. This will soften the plaque and make it easier for removal. Next, rinse your mouth with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Consuming cheddar or swiss cheese before your meals will neutralize the acids that are involve in the creation of dental plaque and prevent its accumulation.
Consume more spicy foods in order to prevent the accumulation of plaque on your teeth. Spicy foods stimulate production of saliva which can clean your mouth naturally. Brushing and flossing is highly important as well – try to move the brush vertically and don’t forget to clean the space between the teeth and gums. Instead of using mouthwash, rub your teeth with orange peel before going to bed and don’t rinse. This will kill the bacteria in your oral cavity and keep it healthy and clean. Include these tips in your daily routine and your smile will soon look perfect!
