How To Remove Dental Plaque Naturally

Learning how to remove dental plaque naturally can save time at the dentist, eliminate expensive products and ease the worry about periodontal disease.  Some simple, inexpensive things already available in the cupboard can make a world of difference in your smile.  Natural methods to remove of dental plaque complement brushing and flossing.

• Pre-rinse with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide.  Don't use too much, as it will foam in your mouth. Swish it between your teeth and focus on the back molars.  Allow  it to foam as long as you can. 


• Spit out excess peroxide.  DO NOT RINSE residual peroxide out of your mouth.


• Floss your teeth.


• Brush with a mixture of 1-teaspoon salt or mineral salt to 2-teaspoon baking soda. Moisten the toothbrush with water and then dip the bristles into the baking soda.  Brush your teeth with the peroxide residue still in your mouth.  Brush thoroughly, focusing on the back molars and other hard to reach places.


• Rinse with cold water.   The peroxide softens plaque, kills bacteria naturally and hyper-oxygenates the gum-line.  It also gently bleaches tooth stains.

The  kitchen cupboard  has many natural remedies to alleviate sore gums and brighten your smile.

• A drop of clove oil on a sore tooth will alleviate toothache. 


• Swish and gargle daily with sesame oil to reduce gum disease and remove wrinkles from your cheeks.


• Coconut oil massaged into sore gums helps to alleviate pain.


• Vinegar mixed with one-tablespoon salt, 1-tablespoon vinegar and four ounces of warm water helps toothache. 


• Always drink a glass of cold water in the morning.


• Rub ice on the sore spot of a toothache.  If your jaw is swollen, gently rub an ice pack on the sore area for about ten minutes.  If it cools too fast, it can increase pain. If this doesn't help, apply a hot cloth.
