Brilio.net - Teeth that look white with fresh breath can indeed increase a person's self-confidence. But unfortunately, there are various dental and mouth problems that actually make some people reluctant to smile broadly. Among them are yellow teeth and breath that has an unpleasant odor.
Not only does it interfere with aesthetics and comfort, yellow teeth and bad breath can also trigger other dental problems. Such as tartar, dental caries and gingivitis. This condition is caused by various factors, such as plaque buildup, consuming foods high in carbohydrates and sugar too often, consuming dark colored drinks, and lack of maintaining dental hygiene.
Plaque deposits are one of the most common causes of yellowing teeth and bad-smelling breath. Plaque can appear due to various things, starting from a buildup of salivary tissue and traces of food that has not been cleaned optimally. The longer you don't clean or brush your teeth, the thicker the plaque that builds up on your teeth and gums.
Not only that, age is also the reason why teeth appear yellow. So, if you are one of the people experiencing this problem, there's no need to worry. The reason is, you can overcome yellowing teeth so that they become white again and free from unpleasant breath odor. One way is to use natural ingredients.
One natural ingredient that is widely used to whiten yellow teeth and bad breath is salt. The reason is that this material contains a natural antiseptic which is effective in eradicating stains and bacteria that cause yellow teeth and bad breath. Even so, it turns out there are other natural ingredients that are also effective in treating yellow teeth and reducing unpleasant breath odor.
Like an upload from a woman via her personal TikTok account @camy.hati, who actually uses 2 types of spices. The spices in question are clove powder and ginger powder.

Clove content whitens yellow teeth and freshens breath.
Cloves have antifungal, antiseptic and antibacterial properties which are useful for reducing bacteria and fungi that cause various health problems. One of them is the teeth and mouth. Apart from brushing your teeth regularly, it turns out that using cloves can also help overcome the problem of bad breath.
The natural antibacterial content in cloves will eradicate the bacteria that cause bad breath so your breath will feel fresher. The habit of rinsing the oral cavity with dissolved cloves or using them as a mixture for toothpaste can strengthen the gums and help remove plaque on the surface of the teeth.
The benefits of ginger for treating yellow teeth and freshening breath.
Ginger is also a natural ingredient that is effective for treating yellow teeth and bad breath. The reason is that this spice has antibacterial properties which can also clean yellow stains on the surface of the teeth. You can use it to make your teeth whiter and cleaner. Reporting from the Daily Mail, the chemicals that give ginger its spicy taste stimulate enzymes in the mouth that break down substances that make teeth yellow and breath smells bad.
With just these two types of spices you can make an effective teeth whitening paste to treat yellow teeth and bad breath. This is how to make and use it, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @camy.hati, Friday (10/5).
