Brilio.net - Maintaining healthy teeth and mouth is something that must be done to avoid various problems. However, unfortunately, many people actually ignore this, so that it is not uncommon for various problems to arise and disrupt appearance and comfort.
Some of the dental and oral problems most often experienced by most people are yellow teeth, tartar, dental caries, gingivitis, and cavities. Well, various dental problems can make your breath smell bad.
Yellow teeth is a condition when the natural color of the teeth changes to become yellower. There are various triggers for yellow teeth, such as the habit of drinking coffee or tea, being lazy about brushing your teeth, smoking, and the buildup of plaque and tartar on your teeth. Sometimes yellow teeth that are not treated immediately will eventually become a crust that is difficult to remove.
If not treated properly, this condition can cause severe tooth damage. One effort that can be made is by brushing your teeth twice a day and diligently doing scaling at the dentist. If your teeth are already yellow, you can use natural ingredients to overcome them.
Even though you use natural ingredients, if you do it regularly, you will get naturally white teeth. Like the upload shared by a TikTok user with the account name @letzz_diy, which uses 2 kitchen ingredients. The kitchen ingredients in question are salt and turmeric powder.

Benefits of salt to treat yellow teeth.
Salt contains minerals, calcium, phosphorus and fluorine which are considered beneficial for helping maintain healthy teeth and mouth. Salt is also a natural antiseptic that can eradicate bacteria. Salt works by increasing the pH balance in the mouth, so that it remains in an alkaline condition which can prevent the growth of bacteria in the mouth. Salt can even help release food particles and dirt between the teeth which can cause plaque, yellow teeth, and the appearance of stubborn tartar.
Contains turmeric powder to whiten yellow stains on teeth.
Turmeric powder contains a compound with a distinctive yellow color called curcumin, this compound has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that are good for health and beauty. One of the benefits is maintaining healthy teeth and mouth.
Curcumin is also antimicrobial which is believed to be able to kill bacteria that cause dental problems, such as infection and plaque. In addition, its brightening ability makes turmeric an effective ingredient for removing yellowish stains and reducing inflammation of the teeth and gums.
Relying on these two kitchen ingredients, you can make a teeth whitening paste that is claimed to be visible in just 3 minutes. Regular use will make yellow-stained teeth appear whiter and tartar-free. Come on, see how to make and use it, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @letzz_diy, Monday (13/5).
