Brilio.net - Many people often ignore dental hygiene and health. As a result, teeth will experience various problems. One of them is dental plaque, which causes teeth to appear yellow with bad-smelling breath.
If this problem is not treated immediately, dental plaque can develop into stubborn tartar. Well, tartar is what will trigger other tooth and gum problems. Such as gum inflammation, tooth infections, and so on.
Dental plaque is a sticky layer that forms on the surface or around the teeth, resulting from the accumulation of bacteria, food debris and other bacteria in the mouth. When brushing teeth is not done regularly and correctly, dental plaque easily forms and develops into yellowish stains on the surface of the teeth.
Plaque usually forms in areas of the teeth that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush, such as between the teeth and at the gum line. So, to overcome this, you can do teeth scaling treatment, whitening treatment, and even clean your teeth at the nearest doctor.
However, if you don't want to dig too deep into your pockets, you can care for and maintain the cleanliness of your teeth by using natural ingredients at home. Like the upload shared by TikTok user @imxalstha, he only uses 2 kitchen ingredients to treat plaque and yellow teeth. The kitchen ingredients in question are salt and lemon.

The benefits of salt for treating plaque and yellow teeth.
Salt contains minerals, calcium, phosphorus and fluorine, which are useful for maintaining healthy teeth so they are free from various problems. Salt is also a natural antiseptic that can eradicate bacteria by increasing the pH balance in the mouth. This salty kitchen ingredient can also help release food particles and dirt between the teeth, which can cause plaque and yellowish stains.
Lemon content to whiten yellow teeth and plaque.
Lemon is believed to be able to fade yellowish stains and at the same time erode plaque on the surface of the teeth. The acid or vitamin C content in lemons is also effective in eroding the bacteria that cause yellow teeth. If used regularly, lemon will make your mouth fresher, free from bad breath, and naturally white teeth.
