A face that is beautiful and delicate, but with yellow teeth, shatters the beauty. Many people are troubled by their yellow teeth and want to try various methods to whiten them. Some people ask if rinsing with vinegar before brushing can whiten teeth and if it is good to rinse with vinegar before brushing. Let's answer these questions one by one.
Rinsing with vinegar before brushing will not whiten teeth
Rinsing with vinegar before brushing cannot whiten teeth. Many people believe that rinsing with vinegar before brushing can whiten teeth, possibly because some information shows that adding vinegar during teeth cleaning for patients with tartar can achieve better results. Therefore, they think that rinsing with vinegar can whiten teeth. However, rinsing with vinegar only has certain therapeutic effects on early-stage tartar and cannot whiten teeth.
Tartar: After eating, if the mouth is not rinsed in time, food residue will accumulate, and the calcium in it will form tartar that adheres between teeth.
The disadvantages of rinsing with vinegar before brushing outweigh the benefits
Vinegar has a certain dissolving effect on calcium. Rinsing with vinegar before brushing can have certain therapeutic effects on early-stage tartar, but it has little effect on long-term tartar. Moreover, vinegar is highly irritating and contains acetic acid and other acidic components. It is a weak acid substance. Long-term rinsing with vinegar can corrode teeth, damage tooth enamel, and harm teeth.
The reasons for yellow teeth
1. Physiological changes in tooth color: With age, teeth undergo slight changes in color.
2. Extrinsic yellow teeth: Food pigments sticking to the tooth surface, tartar after smoking, pigments from beverages, coffee, tea, etc. that adhere to teeth for a long time can cause teeth to become yellowish-gray. Therefore, it is important to develop the habit of brushing teeth after meals to maintain oral health.
3. Intrinsic yellow teeth: These mainly include fluorosis and tetracycline staining. They occur during childhood due to the influence of water quality and medications. Generally, the pigments are not on the tooth surface but inside the tooth tissue. Intrinsic yellow teeth are usually stubborn and can be relieved through professional teeth cleaning or other advanced teeth whitening methods under the guidance of a dentist.
The correct and scientific way to brush teeth
Brushing method: Brush the upper teeth from top to bottom, and the lower teeth from bottom to top. Brush the occlusal surface back and forth. The horizontal vibratory brushing method can effectively remove plaque in the cervical area and gingival sulcus, ensuring effective cleaning of these areas and effectively controlling periodontal infection.
Brushing time: Brush teeth three times a day after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each time, brush for at least three minutes, and brush all three surfaces of the teeth to achieve the desired effect of clean teeth.
Developing the habit of brushing teeth seriously and on time is the best way to have white teeth.
