Surprising tricks for healthier teeth

Toothbrush

In addition to the 2 × 2 rule (two daily brushings of two minutes), frequent use of dental floss and going to see the dentist at least once a year, there are many others things we can do to get healthier teeth.

The following are three amazing tricks that you can pull off every day. And the best thing is that they are very simple and will not take you more than a minute.

Drinking tea every day could help in destroying or limiting the growth of bacteria in your mouth, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center. Remember that bacteria produce the acid that leads to cavities, which is why preventing them from developing in the teeth is essential to preserve the smile in an optimal state.

Did you know that every time we drink something sweet, bacteria enter the mouth that can attack the teeth? Using a straw to drink sugary soda It prevents the liquid from coming into direct contact with the teeth, thus keeping many of these dangerous bacteria away.

Chewing gum is a good strategy against bacteria, since it neutralizes and expels its acids. This is because it stimulates the production of saliva. However, a more moist mouth would not be the only benefit of chewing gum. Some studies link this habit with the contribution of calcium and phosphate to the surface of the teeth, and therefore with their strengthening. Remember that it must be a sugar-free variety and that, in no case, should it replace brushing or dental floss.
