Brilio.net - The mouth is one part of the body that is used to process food and drink that enters the body. Food and drinks that are always consumed can leave a number of residues. If not cleaned regularly, leftover food and drink can cause tartar. This condition, also known as dental plaque, is a sticky layer that forms around the teeth and gums.
The process of tartar begins with the formation of dental plaque, a sticky layer consisting of bacteria, food debris and saliva. These bacteria mostly come from the food consumed, especially foods that contain sugar and carbohydrates.
If dental plaque is not removed regularly by brushing your teeth, the plaque will harden into tartar. The tartar mineralization process occurs when minerals from saliva, such as calcium and phosphate, combine with plaque and make it harden into a harder substance.
Over time, tartar can grow and build up around the teeth, especially in areas that are difficult for a toothbrush to reach, such as between the teeth and along the gum line. Therefore, tartar must be removed immediately.
There is one method you can use to remove tartar. You can follow the trick shared by a man with his YouTube channel @wiemankoct. Through uploads on his YouTube channel, he uses coffee beans, olive oil and lemon juice to treat tartar.
Coffee beans have a rough texture so they can be used as a natural scrub to remove stains and plaque on teeth. However, using coffee beans as a tooth scrub must be done carefully so as not to damage tooth enamel. Brushing your teeth too often or too hard with coffee beans can cause abrasion to the tooth enamel and damage it. Therefore, coffee beans should be used carefully and not excessively.
Olive oil has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which can help reduce inflammation of the gums and fight the growth of bacteria that cause dental plaque. Reporting from adejournal.com, a popular method known as "oil pulling" involves gargling with olive oil or coconut oil for several minutes every day. Oil pulling is believed to help reduce dental plaque and improve gum health. However, scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of oil pulling in removing tartar is still limited.
Meanwhile, lemon juice contains citric acid which has natural whitening properties and can help remove stains from teeth. However, keep in mind that citric acid can also damage tooth enamel if used excessively or too often. Therefore, lemon juice should be used carefully and not excessively.

Can coffee overcome bad breath?
Coffee is not only used as a drink, this natural ingredient can also be used to treat bad breath. This is because coffee contains caffeine which has drying properties.
