Valentine's Day is coming soon, and many people are starting to get a little excited. It's a chance to kiss your crush, but the thought of your long-standing problem of yellow teeth and bad breath starts to bring you down. Today, I'm here to help you solve this problem!
【Causes of Bad Breath】
Local oral diseases are the main cause of bad breath, but it is also important to note that bad breath can also be a manifestation of certain internal organs. Some organic intestinal diseases can also cause bad breath.
1. Pathological bad breath
Untreated cavities, dental calculus, tobacco stains, and poor oral hygiene can all cause bad breath.
2. Physiological bad breath
The cause of bad breath is often due to spleen deficiency, which leads to the inability to digest and absorb water and dampness in the body. This forms bad breath when the feces stick to the intestinal wall. Therefore, bad breath is often accompanied by constipation and loose stools. On the one hand, it is due to spleen deficiency and excessive dampness, and on the other hand, it is due to weak intestinal muscles and insufficient bowel movements.
【Tips to Get Rid of Bad Breath】
Tip 1: Orange Peel
Dry the orange peel (sun-dry, bake, or roast), it must be very, very dry and crispy. Grind it into powder and store it in a bottle. After squeezing toothpaste onto your toothbrush, dip a little powder and start brushing. It can whiten your teeth. My teeth were also very yellow, and now I have stains from smoking. After using this method to brush my teeth for more than two months, my teeth have become noticeably whiter. Tips: The orange peel must be sun-dried and crispy before grinding it into powder.
Tip 2: Baking Soda
Dip some baking soda (edible alkali) onto your toothbrush and brush your teeth as usual 1-2 times a week for 3 minutes each time. This can keep your teeth bright and clean.
Tip 3: Vinegar
Hold half a mouthful of vinegar in your mouth, keep it for 2-3 minutes, then spit it out and brush your teeth vigorously. Rinse your mouth with water afterwards. This method is effective, but it can make your teeth feel sour and numb (this feeling lasts for about 2 minutes), so it is not recommended to use it continuously. It can be used once every 2 months, otherwise it will affect dental health. In case of emergencies, you can use this method to quickly whiten your teeth.
Vinegar is the most common one.
Tip 4: Lemon Juice
After brushing your teeth, dip a cotton pad in lemon juice and wipe each tooth. Every night after brushing your teeth, use a piece of gauze dipped in lemon juice to rub your teeth. This will make your teeth white and bright. Lemon has strong cleaning power and whitening effect, and it contains vitamin C, which can strengthen tooth roots. It is a good method for teeth whitening.
Tip 5: Peanut Crumbs
Chew up some raw peanuts and don't swallow them. Use the peanut crumbs as toothpaste to brush your teeth, which can make your teeth white.
Tip 6: Cuttlefish Bone
Grind the cuttlefish bone into powder and use it as toothpaste. It can have an immediate whitening effect. Cuttlefish bone, also known as squid or octopus bone, has a large white bone on its body. When gently scraped, it produces a lot of white powder. Using this powder as toothpaste can restore the whiteness of your teeth.
Tip 7: Strawberries
Crush a fresh strawberry and use it to brush your teeth or rub it on the surface of your teeth. Keep doing this for about a week, and you will see obvious whitening results.
How about that? These ingredients are commonly used at home, so why not give them a try.
