Methods To Get Natural Oral Care For Your Family

By George Bell


Good dental hygiene is critical to the rest of your health. When you have a clean and healthy mouth, you aid the systems in the rest of your body. However, when you cannot afford to go the dentist or purchase specialized dental products, you might wonder how you can take care of your teeth without breaking your budget. You could use these everyday products in your house for natural oral care purposes.

Most people keep baking soda in their refrigerators or cupboards. Soda is used for absorbing odors and bacteria as well as neutralizing acid. When used as a dental aid, it can clean your mouth and possibly get rid of infectious agents. A single box of soda can last for months because it only takes a teaspoon or two to use for dental purposes.

You can mix the soda with a few teaspoons of water to make a paste out of it. The paste goes on the bristles of your brush, which you then can use to polish and clean your teeth. It could remove stains that you get from drinking too much coffee or tea. Likewise, it has been proven to kill some types of bacteria and viruses that get into your gums.

Your children and possibly even you may not look forward to using it because of the way it tastes. You might need to mix it with additional flavorings like powdered cinnamon or a few drops of peppermint oil. In this respect, you end up making your own homeopathic toothpaste that performs the same function of pastes sold in stores.

Hydrogen peroxide also does not taste very pleasant. Still, it has legitimate medical and dental uses that make it highly recommended by many healthcare professionals. Your own dentist might tell you to swish with it to kill bacteria that cause abscesses and bad breath. You only need a cap full of peroxide. If you use too much, you could get sick.

After you have a tooth pulled, your dentist may tell you to swish with salt water. Salt water is made by mixing a teaspoon of salt into four ounces of warm water. When you rinse with it, it targets bacteria and viruses that cause infection in sensitive tissue. It can also stop bleeding and help clotting after a tooth extraction. It is one of the better known at-home remedies recommended by dentists.

These remedies could help you and your family avoid the complications that come with taking some types of medications sold in stores or available by prescription only. Some people are allergic to penicillin, for example, and cannot take it after dental surgery. Even products like aspirin can cause upset stomach and diarrhea. At-home solutions and mixtures may be safer for people who want to avoid the risks of taking commercial medicines. They also tend to be safe for children to use.

Your oral health and that of your family may be paramount in your mind. It influences the rest of your overall wellness. Even so, you may want to spare your budget and avoid paying dental bills. You may try any of these products that you probably have in your cupboard or fridge already. They can be mixed with water to create solutions that improve your mouth's condition.
