You may not know that oral health actually determines your overall health. One of the important parts of oral hygiene is the use of mouthwash.
It is known that the oral cavity can be healed with proper care and healthy nutrition.
Here are the benefits of using homemade mouthwash:
You can make your own homemade mouthwash and achieve amazing results.
You control the ingredients: you can get rid of tartar using completely safe and natural ingredients.
Commercial mouthwash products are loaded with many additives, such as harmful chemicals, colorants, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and flavorings.
Today, we’ll teach you an effective and inexpensive recipe based on soda. It will help you remove tartar and get a whiter and healthier smile.
Sodium bicarbonate is truly one of the most effective cleaners and can be used in various ways, including maintaining oral hygiene.
It has strong whitening and stain-removing properties, which is why it is often used to clean teeth. Additionally, it has antibacterial properties that eliminate tartar and microbes that cause cavities and bad breath!
Here’s how to prepare this mouthwash:
You will need:
- 1 tablespoon of soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide
- 1 cup of cold water
- ½ cup of warm water
- Toothbrush
- Toothpicks
Preparation:
- Mix the salt and soda together, then soak the toothbrush in warm water.
- Dip the brush into the mixture and brush your teeth. Repeat this for two minutes.
- Then mix the hydrogen peroxide with warm water and use this as a mouth rinse for one minute.
- Spit it out, and finally, use a toothpick to remove tartar between the teeth.
- Rinse your teeth with cold water.
- Repeat this twice a week.
Additional tips:
Remember, never swallow mouthwash, as it may contain harmful ingredients.
For optimal oral health, brush your teeth at least three times a day with quality toothpaste.
Spicy foods stimulate the salivary glands, and saliva naturally disinfects the mouth.
