Brilio.net - Teeth are an important part of the digestive system that functions to chew food, making it an ideal place for bacteria to grow. Food and drink residue that sticks to the teeth can be a source of stubborn dirt. If not cleaned properly, these residues trigger the growth of bacteria in the mouth, causing bad breath and making teeth yellow and plaque. Yellowing of teeth often leads to plaque problems, which are sticky layers formed from bacteria, food residue, and saliva. Bacteria in plaque produce acids that damage tooth enamel, and if not cleaned, can cause further damage and the formation of cavities in the teeth.
However, there is no need to worry. In addition to maintaining oral and dental hygiene, there are easy and quick solutions to overcome this problem. One of them is using turmeric, as shown by Instagram @immy.maryam, quoted by briliobeauty.net on Sunday (1/12).
