Dentists Hide This From Us. This Simple Mixture Can Eliminate Dental Plaque

 Eliminate Dental Plaque

Who does not dream of having a healthy and dazzling dentition of whiteness? But unfortunately, factors such as poor oral hygiene, consumption of overly sweet or acidic foods, and tobacco smoke, promote the accumulation of the plaque on the surface of the teeth and thus cause their yellowing. To help you cope with it, try this simple but extremely effective mixture.

What is plaque?

Dental plaque is a thin layer of food debris and saliva deposited on the surface of the teeth after each meal. When not eliminated by proper brushing, bacteria naturally present in the mouth are housed there to feed, thus producing acid excreta that destroy the enamel and promote inflammation of the gums. Moreover, when several layers of plate overlap, they can harden and turn into a pie, impossible to eliminate by a simple brushing.

To avoid all this and to preserve your oral health and the natural whiteness of your teeth, here is a mixture very simple to prepare but with a formidable effectiveness against the plaque.

A mixture to remove plaque:

To prepare this mixture, you will need the following ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon of your ordinary toothpaste
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons mineral water

Preparation:

In a jar, thoroughly mix all the ingredients, then apply a little of this mixture to your toothbrush and use it to brush your teeth thoroughly for 4 minutes. Rinse with clean water. Repeat the same procedure once a week for 1 month to completely remove the plaque and restore your natural teeth to your teeth.

Benefits of baking soda:

Baking soda is a white powder well known for its many virtues and uses. In the field of oral health, its effectiveness has been proved many times. Thanks to its crystals, it effectively cleans teeth and eliminates deposits. In addition, its antibacterial properties neutralize the action of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth, reducing the risk of caries and inflammation of the gums. Its deodorizing effect removes unpleasant odors and refreshes breath, and its whitening action dissolves stains on the teeth, allowing them to regain their natural whiteness and radiance.

However, due to its abrasive character, it is advisable not to use baking soda more than once a week.

Other tips for better oral hygiene:

- Adopt a diet rich in fresh, natural products with high levels of nutrients and antioxidants beneficial to the teeth and health in general and minimize the consumption of too fatty and sweet foods that promote bacterial proliferation in the mouth 

- Reduce the consumption of astringent drinks such as coffee, tea and alcohol, which increase the risk of cavities and inflammation of the gums. Use a straw to consume acid drinks, to limit their contact with the teeth and thus preserve their enamel from erosion

- Brush your teeth for 3 minutes after each meal, using a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean the teeth without damaging or damaging the gums

- Use dental floss to remove food residues that are trapped between teeth and that ordinary brushing can not dislodge

- Periodically use a mouthwash

- Visit a dentist regularly to benefit from a general review of the condition of your mouth and to detect any oral problems at the beginning, which will facilitate their treatment.
