Brilio.net - Radiating a beautiful smile with clean and bright looking teeth is everyone's dream. The reason is that having a beautiful smile can make the person you are talking to more comfortable and maybe it will stick in their memory. However, unfortunately, oral hygiene problems that are not maintained properly can cause tartar to lodge in the mouth.
Tartar or dental plaque is a sticky layer that forms around the teeth and gums as a result of the buildup of bacteria and other substances contained in saliva. To understand more about this problem, let's discuss the process by which tartar occurs and how to treat and prevent it.
The process of tartar begins with the buildup of plaque, which is a sticky layer formed from a combination of bacteria, saliva, food debris and other substances in the mouth. The bacteria in dental plaque naturally live in the mouth and multiply rapidly when they are exposed to food debris containing sugar and carbohydrates.
Plaque that is not cleaned properly can harden and become tartar. This process is called mineralization or calcification, when minerals such as calcium, phosphate and other salts from saliva settle and combine with plaque, forming a hard layer that adheres to the surface of the teeth.
When plaque hardens and mineralization occurs, it turns into tartar or tartar. Tartar is a hard layer that sticks to the teeth and is difficult to remove just by brushing your teeth regularly. Tartar provides an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive and can cause more serious oral health problems, such as cavities, gum disease, and even structural damage to the teeth.
Even though it looks quite difficult to remove, tartar can be treated using one method, namely combining toothpaste with natural ingredients. This step was also taken by YouTuber @Kochenrezepte. In an upload on his YouTube channel, he combined toothpaste with cloves, garlic and salt. In this concoction @Kochenrezepte did not mix baking soda, because its natural cleaning properties have been replaced by salt.
Please note, salt has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties which can help clean and relieve inflammation of the gums. Salt solution can be used as a mouthwash to help clean plaque and speed up healing of wounds on the gums. Salt has anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve inflammation and irritation of the gums.
Tartar is removed using the allicin compound from garlic.
Garlic is not only used as a cooking spice, this kitchen ingredient apparently contains active compounds such as allicin which has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The antibacterial compounds in garlic can help reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth that can cause plaque formation. The anti-inflammatory properties of garlic can help relieve inflammation and irritation of the gums.
The antibacterial content in cloves helps remove tartar.
Cloves, which are a spice, contain compounds such as eugenol which have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Reporting from onlymyhealth.com, Sunday (12/5) the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory compounds in cloves can reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth and prevent plaque formation. The analgesic properties of cloves can help relieve pain and discomfort in the gums.
Those are the benefits of each ingredient that you can get to remove tartar. For those who want to try, let's look at the information below as summarized by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel @Kochenrezepte, Sunday (12/5).
