Brilio.net - Tartar, or often called plaque, is one of the common dental and oral health problems. This condition occurs due to the accumulation of bacteria, food debris, and saliva on the surface of the teeth. If food debris is not cleaned immediately, bacteria in the mouth will turn it into acid that can damage the tooth enamel layer. This process then triggers the formation of tartar.
Tartar problems need to be treated as soon as possible. In addition to disrupting oral health, tartar often causes discoloration to yellow, which can affect appearance. If left untreated, this condition can also potentially cause bad breath, swelling of the gums, and even make teeth loose.
Removing tartar is usually done by visiting a dentist. However, treatment at the clinic often requires a lot of money. As an alternative, natural ingredients available at home can be used to overcome this problem. One of the most popular natural ingredients is charcoal.
As reported by briliobeauty.net from Sassy Organics, Friday (12/20), charcoal has adsorbent properties that can remove stains on teeth. The use of this ingredient can help brighten teeth that have turned yellow due to plaque. With its natural properties, charcoal is an effective choice for maintaining oral and dental hygiene.
In addition to charcoal, a combination of baking soda and lemon can also be used. Lemon contains citric acid which can dissolve plaque, making teeth look whiter. However, keep in mind that its use should be limited because citric acid risks eroding the protective layer of teeth if used excessively.
Meanwhile, baking soda is known to be effective in cleaning and whitening teeth. The sodium bicarbonate content in this ingredient can neutralize acids and help lift dirt from the surface of the teeth naturally.
Those are the uses of each ingredient, so how do you make this natural toothpaste? Come on, copy the tutorial shared by YouTube user Simplehomeremidies8358, reported by briliobeauty.net , Friday (12/20).
