Unfortunately, today not every woman canshow off healthy and well-groomed teeth. Perfectly straight and white teeth are a great advantage of their owner's appearance. Of course, each of us knows that in order to keep our teeth healthy, we need to visit the dentist at least twice a year. We know, but we always put off visiting the dental clinic: either we don't have time, or we can't do it, or we're just too lazy. As a result, most of us end up in the dentist's chair only when our teeth make themselves known, that is, they require immediate treatment. In order to avoid such mistakes in the future, many people after dental treatment begin to worry about the question: how can you keep your teeth in good condition for as long as possible? And the answer is simple - for this, you need to properly care for your teeth at home.
Prophylaxis for gums
Healthy teeth are, first of all,healthy gums. Therefore, dental care at home should be comprehensive. Maintaining gum health is not that difficult - massage and hygiene. In most cases, regular proper tooth brushing is enough. We will tell you how to do this a little below. Very rarely, but still there are cases when the gums are too sensitive and one massage with a toothbrush is not enough. In this case, you can resort to alternative medicine of various peoples. By the way, these recipes will also help protect against caries.
- Chinese medicine
The Chinese have also learned from time immemorialcope with caries and other ailments with the help of simple and clever methods. In its effectiveness, such a simple Chinese prevention of caries is not inferior to the popular and expensive dental and oral care products advertised today. When washing your face in the morning, take a mouthful of cold boiled water, hold it in your mouth for at least three minutes, then swallow slowly in three steps. According to the wise Chinese, such a procedure promotes the secretion of saliva, strengthens the gums and teeth. We all know from childhood that after eating it is necessary to rinse your mouth. After all, such a seemingly simple procedure, in addition to being beneficial for your teeth, has a strengthening effect on the muscles of your cheeks and lips.
- Tibetan Medicine
The aborigines living in the mountains of Tibet neverfaced with such a problem as caries, they did not even hear about its existence. And all this is thanks to the salt paste, which has been used since ancient times by all residents of the mountainous regions of Tibet. It is this miracle cure that helps Tibetans keep their teeth beautiful and healthy until old age. Do you want to know the recipe for the Tibetan miracle cure? It is very simple, so it will not be difficult to prepare it at home. Take 1/2 cup of coarse salt, pour it with a small amount of cold boiled water and stir the solution vigorously with a spoon for one minute. Remove the foam and, scooping up the crystals from the bottom of the glass with a toothbrush, brush your teeth with them twice a day, preferably in the morning and evening after meals. Use the "brine" to rinse your mouth during the day. At first, you will most likely feel some discomfort from the taste of salt, especially in those places where the sensitivity of the teeth is increased, but this will soon pass - in a week all the unpleasant sensations will completely disappear. The salt paste prepared in this way works real miracles: it strengthens tooth enamel, destroys bacteria, covers the oral cavity, chips and cracks in the teeth with a thin disinfectant layer.
Prophylaxis of caries
Caries is a real scourge of modernperson. Nowadays it is difficult to find even a child who does not have at least one filling. But in most cases, proper dental care can help to avoid the development of caries.
- Choosing a toothbrush
The choice of brushes is so huge that it is not difficultget confused. But in fact, it is enough to know a few simple rules. First, the hardness of the brush. Soft bristles are only suitable for children, whose enamel is thin and very sensitive. An adult will never clean his teeth as well as necessary with a soft brush. And too hard bristles - there is a risk of damaging the enamel. Secondly, do not buy a brush with pig bristles under any circumstances! Not only does it wear out very quickly, but it is also very unhygienic - inside each bristle there is a thin channel in which microorganisms can multiply. It is best to buy a brush with artificial bristles - durable and hygienic. And one more thing to pay attention to - is the roundness of the bristles. If they are not rounded, they can injure delicate gums and, as a result, inflammatory processes are guaranteed to you. Therefore, it is much better to give preference to brushes with rounded bristles, because they do not damage the enamel and massage the gums perfectly. Of course, it is very difficult to determine the roundness of the bristles by appearance. Therefore, look for the inscription "Tynex" on the brush packaging. And in no case forget that the toothbrush must be changed not once a year, but at least every three months. Otherwise, there will be practically no benefit from brushing your teeth.
- Choice of pasta
In addition to the brush, you need to choose the right toothpaste.Ideally, your dentist should select the paste. The paste is selected according to individual needs. In case of unpleasant odor - refreshing, in case of bleeding gums - relieving inflammation, if necessary - whitening. In any case, be sure to talk to your doctor.
- Proper cleaning
Unfortunately, it is very common to see thispicture - a person brushes his front teeth several times and leaves the bathroom with a sense of accomplishment. But this is not an acceptable way to take care of your teeth! It is very important to thoroughly clean all surfaces of your teeth - and not just the front ones. On average, it should take at least three to four minutes to brush your teeth. Of course, you need to brush your teeth twice a day.
How can I achieve whiteness of my teeth?
It is no secret that even the most expensive advertisedspecial whitening pastes are not able to remove unattractive plaque from teeth. The teeth whitening procedure in dental clinics and offices, although effective, has many nuances. For example, teeth whitening has such unpleasant consequences as sensitivity of teeth to temperature changes, as well as the fact that this procedure will have to be repeated periodically. If you do not trust modern "miracle remedies", you can achieve the desired effect with the help of folk remedies.
- Herbal Powder
Helps restore the whiteness of your teethpowder made from medicinal plants. To prepare it, you will need: 2 parts of cinquefoil rhizome crushed into powder, the same amount of calamus root and 1 part of birch charcoal powder. It is not a problem to buy all these components, they are usually sold in every drugstore. Mix the components in the specified proportions, dilute with water at room temperature to the consistency of thick sour cream. Use the prepared mixture to brush your teeth like regular toothpaste. You should refrain from eating for half an hour after the procedure. Of course, this is not so easy - women who want to have a beautiful snow-white smile will have to work hard to prepare an effective remedy for preserving their teeth.
- Eggplant
Fry in the oven or in a frying pan withoutfat finely chopped pieces of eggplant until charred. Use the resulting black powder to brush your teeth. The procedure time is the longer the better (at least three minutes), it is better to brush with your finger, dipping it in the resulting powder. This product not only effectively whitens, but also strengthens teeth. Eggplant "charcoal" can be prepared for future use for several meals at once.
- Lemon paste
Another equally effective method of whiteningteeth at home with lemon juice and baking soda is probably familiar to everyone. We suggest trying to whiten your teeth in such a simple way. To do this, it is enough to brush your teeth with freshly squeezed lemon juice once a week. To remove yellow plaque from teeth, it is recommended to add a little baking soda and 1-2 drops of lemon juice to the toothpaste you use when brushing your teeth. However, do not overdo it and regularly resort to this method of whitening. Do not spare the effort and time to maintain the health and beauty of your teeth. Do not be lazy and do not postpone a visit to the dentist. Do not neglect the time-tested methods of caring for your "pearls" and follow the rules for dental care. We advise you to read:
