Dental plaque is a sticky, colorless cluster of bacteria that adheres to the teeth and along the edges of the gums. Over time it hardens and becomes tartar.
It is one of the main causes of tooth decay, gum inflammation, and other dental problems.
Fortunately, there is a simple but effective natural remedy that will help you get rid of tartar and plaque.
And what’s more, without having to visit your dentist and pay for expensive procedures, such as professional dental cleaning.
Of course, you should also follow proper oral hygiene rules to prevent the buildup of bacteria in the mouth. This is the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy in the long term.
Ingredients
To remove tartar and prevent gum disease you will only need these two things:
- 250 ml of water
- 40 grams of walnut shells
Instructions
1. First, boil the walnut shells in boiling water for about 20 minutes. Cook over low heat with the pot covered so that not much water evaporates during that time.
2. Let the water cool and then remove the shells from it, or strain it.
3. Set aside approximately 0.5 dcl of the decoction into a small glass.
4. Then dip your toothbrush into the decoction and brush your teeth with it for 10 minutes.
5. At the end, brush your teeth once more in the usual way using toothpaste.
6. Repeat the procedure 3 times a day.
How it works
Walnut shells have a strong antibacterial effect, which suppresses the growth and reproduction of bacteria in the mouth.
In addition, they contain substances that are capable of removing tartar deposits from the teeth.
This treatment is also recommended for people with bleeding gums, because the decoction of walnut shells has strong anti-inflammatory effects.
