- This method can be used once or twice a week as part of your regular oral hygiene routine. However, it should not replace daily brushing and flossing with fluoride toothpaste.
Additional Tips:
- Regular Dental Care: Continue to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. This homemade paste is an addition to, not a replacement for, regular toothpaste.
- Sensitivity: If you experience sensitivity or irritation, reduce the frequency of using this paste or discontinue use and consult with a dentist.
- Professional Cleaning: Make sure to maintain regular dental checkups and cleanings. Professional care is essential to prevent oral diseases and handle areas that are difficult to clean thoroughly at home.
Why It Works:
Baking soda is not only a natural cleanser but also neutralizes acids produced by the bacteria in plaque, which can damage the teeth and gums. Salt, meanwhile, provides additional cleaning and antibacterial effects.
This quick and easy remedy can help manage plaque build-up effectively at home, keeping your smile healthy between dental visits. However, it’s important to remember that this does not replace professional dental treatment and regular check-ups.
