5 Weird Dental Tips That Work Like A Charm!
You’ve likely heard these a thousand times already…
Brush your teeth twice a day, floss regularly, eat a healthy diet, and visit your dentist at least every six months for regular checkups...
But there are some unusual tips your dentist has probably never mentioned that can actually fix bad breath, cavities, gingivitis, and many other oral issues naturally, without the need for medicine, expensive surgery, or painful techniques…
Tip #1: Use This 5 Second Oral Flush Every Night to Rebuild Teeth & Gums?
You might think that eating too much sweets is the main reason for getting cavities, gum disease, yellow decaying teeth,… but according to the latest research this is much further from the truth…**
In fact, scientists have revealed a specific “sugar molecule” that holds the key to rebuilding your teeth and gums naturally*, and using it is even easier than brushing your teeth or using mouthwash.
Just by doing this 5 second “oral flush” routine before sleep every night, over 40,000 people have managed to activate the sugar molecules and naturally fix their bad breath, cavities and gum disease!*
Click here to see exactly what this special molecule is and how it could potentially help you as well!*
Weird Tip #2: Eat Cheese to Prevent Tooth Decay and Cavities
Who doesn’t love cheese?
And if it even helps prevent tooth decay, what could be better?
The gooey consistency of cheese acts like a sticky tape, trapping bacteria and food residue from the teeth’ surface.
Munching and chewing on large wedges of cheese can also help clean between your teeth.
Weird Tip #3: Use Banana Peels to Whiten Your Teeth
Don’t let that banana peel go to waste after you’ve finished eating it. Instead, rub the inside of the peel on your teeth for at least two minutes to whiten them.
The peel is packed with magnesium, potassium, and other minerals that penetrate your teeth and make them whiter. Since banana peel is completely natural, it whitens your teeth without causing sensitivity.
Weird Tip #4: Avoid Brushing Your Teeth Immediately After Eating
Contrary to popular belief, brushing your teeth right after a meal doesn’t help remove germs faster. In fact, it can actually cause more harm than good.
Experts recommend waiting at least 30 minutes after a meal before brushing your teeth. If you’ve consumed acidic foods or drinks, it’s best to wait even longer.
Acids can dissolve or erode the tooth enamel, making your teeth more sensitive. Brushing during this time can further damage the enamel, causing it to wear away more quickly.
Weird Tip #5: Keep Your Mouth Healthy With Coconut Oil
Coconut oil, renowned for its numerous health benefits, also plays a vital role in maintaining oral hygiene. Through a technique called oil pulling, coconut oil effectively removes bacteria from teeth, leading to a healthier and brighter smile.
Simply swish a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth for approximately 20 minutes, complementing your regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash routine.
