What is Tartar and how to control its buildup?

White teeth are something everyone wants, and not having them can be embarrassing or even worse. You can whiten your teeth naturally, which is good news, but there are a lot of things that can change the color of your teeth. People who smoke or drink coffee or tea often get marks on their teeth that won’t go away no matter how often they brush. Having teeth that are yellow or brown can often be a sign of a bigger problem, like gum disease, enamel wear, or not taking care of your teeth properly overall. Just because you whiten your teeth won’t protect them from cavities or diseases like gingivitis.

What is Dental tartar?

Tartar, also referred to as calculus, can take a serious toll on your oral health. Tartar is a hardened form of dental plaque (a sticky biofilm of bacteria). When plaque remains on your teeth for prolonged periods of time, minerals from your saliva become incorporated into the plaque causing it to harden and strongly attach to the surfaces of your teeth. Tartar not only has a bad appearance, it can also lead to several oral issues, including gum disease and tooth decay. On the bright side, there are things you can do to whiten your teeth naturally and make your oral health better overall. The toothpaste you use, along with regular brushing and flossing, baking soda, coconut oil pulling, and a tooth-healthy diet, can all whiten your teeth naturally. They can also protect against bacteria and germs.

The Bad Things About Regular Tooth Whiteners

Scientists have found that teeth-whitening goods can hurt teeth by taking away too much enamel. Normal whitening strips and other bleaching items have a gel that contains carbamide peroxide, which turns into hydrogen peroxide and urea as it breaks down. Over time, using whitening strips every day has been shown to wear away enamel and make teeth more sensitive, especially when drinking hot or cold drinks or eating acidic foods. If you want whiter teeth, you should eat a lot of healthy foods (which are also good for your bones), brush and rinse your teeth and gums every day, and try to cut back on coffee, tea, and sugary foods. If you smoke, the first thing you should do is, quit! Also, brush your teeth every day with a natural toothpaste that won’t irritate them, no matter what age you are.

How to know if there is a tartar buildup?

It can be relatively easy to spot tartar buildup on tooth surfaces, as it presents commonly as a yellow or brown stain. During your regular dental check-up and cleaning, your dental professional will detect and remove tartar. At home, you can check whether or not you are removing dental plaque properly by using plaque disclosing tablets, which can be purchased over-the-counter at many drug stores. The tablet will reveal areas with remaining plaque, which will become temporarily stained by the colored tablet.

How does tartar affect teeth and gums?

Tartar can cause harm to your teeth and gums by increasing your risk for developing the following:
Cavities: Oral bacteria feeding on the sugars we consume leads to the production of acids that contribute to tooth decay and enamel erosion.
Gingivitis: Accumulation of plaque and tartar can lead to gum inflammation, which can cause a mild form of gum disease known as gingivitis. Signs of gingivitis can include swollen, red, tender and bleeding gums. If not managed, gingivitis can progress into a more severe form of gum disease known as periodontal disease.
Bad Breath: Tartar buildup can contribute to strong oral odors.

How to Whiten Your Teeth Naturally

Brush Your Teeth After Eating or Drinking

It may not always be easy, but brushing your teeth with the right toothpaste after eating or drinking something is the best and healthiest way to whiten your teeth naturally. This is a great way to whiten your teeth, but it takes a lot of consistent effort and can be hard if you’re at work or school when you eat. To keep your teeth from turning yellow, you should also stop smoking, cut down on coffee and drinks, brush and floss your teeth more often, and eat a healthy diet. If you normally drink things that stain, use a straw and try to drink less of them.

Using coconut oil to pull

Just when you thought you knew everything about coconut oil, you hear that pulling out your teeth with coconut oil can whiten them naturally. Some say that putting coconut oil on their teeth after brushing makes them whiter and healthier generally, and most people who do it say it works great. You can oil pull by putting a spoonful of coconut oil in your mouth and swishing it around for five to twenty minutes. You can also put a few drops of oil on your toothbrush and brush your teeth with it. Putting coconut oil on a clean towel corner and rubbing it on your teeth is another way to take care of your teeth. An extra in relation to coconut pulling? Since coconut oil kills germs, it’s also great for keeping your gums healthy and clean.

Put apple cider vinegar on it.

Since apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a natural antibiotic and teeth/gum cleaner, it makes sense that it can also get rid of tough spots on teeth. ACV is great for getting rid of spots caused by common things like coffee and nicotine (from smoking). Some say that using ACV makes your teeth look like they were just cleaned by a dentist. Can you tell me how ACV works? It has substances in it like acetic acid, potassium, magnesium, probiotics, enzymes, and germ-killing germs (dangerous “bad” bacteria). At the same time, it helps good “good” probiotic bacteria grow. It helps break down plaque and other things stuck on teeth because it is naturally acidic. Because apple cider vinegar has a low pH, it can remove spots from your teeth. This helps whiten your teeth naturally. To get the best results, you should use apple cider vinegar to whiten your teeth every day for at least a month. But be careful, because like all acids, too much or too hard of a brushing can wear away the enamel on your teeth. Once you’re done brushing with apple cider vinegar, you should either use regular toothpaste (especially one without fluoride) or rinse your mouth out perfectly. Simply rub apple cider vinegar on your teeth with your finger for one minute. Next, rinse your mouth with water or a solution of hydrogen peroxide.

Berries and other good for you foods

There is a rumor that some famous people whiten their teeth with good for you foods like strawberries. Berries have a lot of good compounds and antioxidants that are good for your teeth. However, their role in tooth health is probably linked to the role of a healthy diet in general. Nevertheless, one study did find that “the acidic nature of strawberries helps lighten the stains by lowering the pH to 3 or 4.” To keep your gums and teeth healthy and free of disease and aging signs, eat foods that strengthen your teeth, such as fruits and nuts yogurt and cheeses,lean proteins,celery, carrots, and leafy greens,black and green tea apples…

Charcoal Fired Up

Charcoal, which is used to get rid of toxins in the body, may help whiten your teeth by removing plaque and tiny particles that color them. Are you looking for a natural way to whiten your teeth with charcoal? For example:Put some water on your toothbrush and dip it into activated charcoal powder. When you brush your teeth as usual, pay extra attention to the spots that are stained the most. Take a small sip of water, rinse your mouth out, and spit. Clear your spit by rinsing well. Brush your teeth with activated charcoal two to three times a week for the best effects. If you have crowns, caps, or porcelain veneers, don’t use it.
