Your oral health is much more important than you think since it affects your overall health as well. Using a mouthwash is a must-do today since it is a really effective way to prevent oral diseases. When you use mouthwash, the bacteria are eliminated, while the plaque presence is reduced. It is the last step in removing the germs and bacteria. Also, your breath will be fresher and your mouth cleaner after you use it. You should also maintain a healthy diet in order to prevent bacteria from accumulating in your mouth. Here are some reasons why you should use a home-made mouthwash
It’s cheap- you can make it in your home while having the same (or even better) effects as an over-the-counter mouthwash product.
The ingredients are safe and completely natural. Most commercial mouthwash products are filled with dangerous chemicals preservatives, colorants, artificial sweeteners, etc., all of which may ultimately possess a risk to your health.
The primary ingredient for this homemade mouthwash is baking soda and it helps get rid of the tartar so you can have perfectly white teeth.
You will only need a tablespoon of baking soda, half a teaspoon of salt, half a cup of hydrogen peroxide, a cup of cold water and half a cup of warm water. Also, find a toothbrush and toothpicks.
- Mix the baking soda and salt. Then, get some warm water on the toothbrush. Rub your teeth with the mixture like you would brush your teeth with toothpaste. Spit out, then repeat. Do this for 2 minutes. After you do this, combine some warm water with the hydrogen peroxide. Rinse your mouth for a minute with the mixture, then expel it from the mouthwash.
- Lastly, get rid of the tartar between your teeth with a toothpick. Use a cold water to rinse. Do this 2 times a week and do oil pulling each day. Never swallow the mouthwash!
Remember to use quality toothpaste and brush at least, twice daily for better oral health and general hygiene!
