How To Remove Plaque From Teeth

Sun, Oct 21, 18 . Admin Editor

The importance of proper and thorough oral care is unprecedented. The health of our teeth, gums and mouth is essential for a myriad of reasons. While all of us do get plaque, our own dental hygiene regimen determines how easily that plaque can be eradicated.

Plaque is the soft, sticky film that starts to build up on your teeth and against your gums. When teeth aren't cleaned properly, layers of plaque can start to transform into what's called tarter, and this is often a cause for gum disease and other troublesome issues. Here are some natural ways you can remove plaque from your teeth.

Oil Pulling

While it's obvious that dental hygiene should always include consistent brushing and flossing, there are other methods that are incredibly effective for eliminating plaque. Oil pulling is a practice that has been around for centuries as a way to properly support oral health. The oil helps to remove plaque from the teeth. One of the best oils you can use for this is coconut oil. This oil is both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory and is perfect for sticking to those deposits of plaque and neutralizing the bacteria that causes plaque to begin with.

Guava

That's right, this fruit may be exactly what your teeth and gums need. There are anti-plaque agents within guava that help to rid the accumulation of plaque on your teeth. A study conducted by the Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences found that guava leaf extract contributed to a reduction of plaque. The leaf and the fruit are naturally antibacterial and can inhibit biofilm which is what causes the appearance of plaque.

Aloe Vera

While many people are aware of the positive effects that this component has on the skin, it can actually be a fantastic dental aid as well. Aloe vera is known to be a great way to fight gum disease by eliminating both plaque and hardened tarter. It's also a great way to ensure fresh breath. Just rub the pulp of the aloe vera leaf over the gums and bottom of the teeth, letting it sit for at least 10 minutes and then brush teeth as normal. You will have your teeth battling less and less plaque the more you use this method.

Orange Peel Oil

Many don't realize that the peels of some fruits are actually just as beneficial as the nectar itself. This is definitely the case with oranges. Orange peels successfully break down the plaque that often covers the enamel of the teeth. Also, the vitamin C component is able to prevent certain microorganisms from forming on or around your teeth. While fresh orange peels are the best option for this method, they aren't necessarily very practical. Because of this, the orange peel oil is the next best option. Just rubbing some on the gums and at the bottom of the teeth before you brush them will do so much to dissolve pockets of plaque that lurk in hard-to-reach places.
