It is said that a smile should show teeth. However, if there is tartar on the teeth, smiling can be a nightmare for others, leaving a bad impression. So how can we quickly remove tartar? Let me share some tips with you.
Tips to Remove Tartar
1. Vinegar
Method: Hold vinegar in your mouth for 2-3 minutes, then spit it out and brush your teeth vigorously. Rinse with water afterwards.
Although this method is effective, it may make your teeth feel sour and numb (this feeling will last for about 2 minutes), so it is not recommended to use it continuously.
2. Orange Peel
After eating an orange, dry and grind the leftover orange peel. Mix it with toothpaste when brushing your teeth in the morning and evening.
This method is very suitable for people with naturally yellow teeth or people whose teeth have been stained yellow by smoking.
Of course, if you want to see results, you need to persist for at least two months. You will find that your teeth will become noticeably whiter, and the black spots caused by smoking will become lighter or even disappear.
3. Peanut Crumbs
Chew raw peanuts into crumbs, and instead of swallowing them, use the peanut crumbs to brush your teeth. Do this repeatedly and your teeth will become whiter.
4. Baking Soda
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate.
Just dip the bristles of your toothbrush in some baking soda (edible alkali) while brushing your teeth. Brush your teeth as usual for 3 minutes, 1-2 times a week. This will keep your teeth bright and clean.
How to Protect Your Teeth
1. Gum Massage
Massage the gums with your thumb and index finger in a certain direction for 10 minutes each time. This can promote blood circulation in the gums, alveolar bone, and dental pulp, and prevent premature recession of the gum.
2. Diet for Dental Care
Eggs, fruits, vegetables, pork rib soup, etc., are rich in protein, minerals, vitamins, etc., and regularly consuming them is beneficial for maintaining strong teeth. Insufficient intake of protein can easily lead to dental caries.
In addition, when eating, pay attention to protecting your teeth. Avoid eating too much acidic and spicy foods to prevent erosion and damage to the enamel.
3. Chewing Properly
The correct way to chew is to alternate between both sides of the teeth. If you frequently chew on one side, the other side will lack physiological stimulation, leading to atrophy of the tissues. Chewing heavily on one side can cause pulpitis and affect facial symmetry, affecting aesthetics.
4. Rinsing with Tea
Rinse your mouth with tea after each meal, allowing the tea to rinse the teeth and both sides of the tongue. This can remove tartar, enhance the physiological functions of the oral circular muscles and oral mucosa, and improve the teeth's resistance to acid and decay.
5. Maintain Oral Hygiene
Brush your teeth with warm water every morning and evening. Brushing before bedtime is even more important than brushing in the morning. In addition, rinse your mouth with water after each meal, using the force of water to remove food residue from the gaps between your teeth.
