August 17, 2018, Beauty Talk

Among the oral health problems, tooth decay is considered the most overwhelming one. It can happen in kids, teenagers and even adults. Tooth decay can cause cavities, which is much more severe and presented by the holes on the teeth. Many reasons are leading to this health issue such as bacterial infection, inflammation caused by leftover foods, poor hygiene habits, etc. Therefore, treating tooth decay is an urgent problem, especially for children to prevent the further damage. Our article following will introduce you some natural and effective ways to get rid of tooth decay fast.
1. Giving Up Bad Eating Habits
Giving up the bad eating habits and planning for a healthy diet is good for both your teeth and your overall health. The British Medical Journal claimed that changing the diet is helpful in treating tooth decay. If you consume a significant amount of sugary food, you have the higher risk of getting tooth decay as the phytic acid in this food will prevent the penetration of calcium, which plays an essential role in keeping your teeth healthy. Also, if you drink sweetened beverages, your teeth will be harmed. So, instead of drinking soda, you should choose fresh water, and unsweetened juice or tea.
Besides getting rid of unhealthy foods, you should consider adding more calcium to your dishes. Fortunately, calcium, the main components of the teeth, is rich in foods such as yogurt, milk, cheese, etc. These foods are not only available but also very cheap. Therefore, change your diet immediately if you do not want your cavities to become severe.
2. Making Plan For A Dental Care Routine
This familiar advice on planning a dental care routine is constructive. The International Dental Health Association claimed that forty-two percent of adults do not floss but brush their teeth for dental care only; this can increase the risk of tooth decay. They also pointed out that brushing teeth at least twice a day, in the morning and before bedtime, is exceptionally essential. If you forget to floss your teeth usually, you are at the high risk of cavities and gums diseases as brushing can clean the tooth surface only. The toothbrush cannot reach the place where the leftover foods are often located. Also, use mouthwash, which is produced with antibacterial properties, after brushing teeth to remove all of the remaining germs and bacteria from your mouth.
3. Regularly Changing Your Toothbrush
Not many people know that changing the toothbrush is very important to protect the oral health. After a long time of using, many bacteria may inhabit in your toothbrush, and they will move to your mouth while brushing. After a long time of using, the bristles will be deteriorated. In this cases, change a new toothbrush instead of trying to clean the old one. Remember to not cover your toothbrush; if you do so, it creates a humid environment for the virus to grow. Therefore, rinse your toothbrush each time you use with water and let it dry. Also, choose a toothbrush with soft bristles so that they can reach every place in your mouth, between the teeth.
4. Using Sea Salt and Baking Soda Toothpaste
Using toothpaste made of sea salt and baking soda is a natural and effective way to treat the tooth decay.
