Caries are caused by the demineralization and destruction of dental tissues. This is permanent damage to the tooth surface that turns into small holes and black spots. Did you know that it is possible to prevent cavities?
They are due to excess acids produced by bacteria that grow in the mouth. Caries can thus colonize the teeth due to food residue or poor oral hygiene.
1 – RINSE WITH SEAWATER
For your mouthwashes, there are small bottles of purified sea water that you can find at herbalists and health food stores. You should know that sea water is very alkaline and contains all the minerals necessary for your body.
People who live near clean beaches can also bring some back directly, but it is more advisable to do it at daybreak to avoid swimming time, and to try to fill the bottle at the bottom of the sea to do not take the water that returns to the surface, to avoid residues accumulating there.
2 – OREGANO ESSENTIAL OIL
Oregano is a powerful natural anti-bacterial: this is why we only use a droplet of essential oil diluted in a spoonful of vegetable oil for rinsing or brushing our teeth from time to time. You can also dilute it in vegetable oil if you ever feel that it tastes too strong.
