How to remove plaque at home

A snow-white smile is a dream of many, but not at all it comes true. After all, one desire is not enough. So that the teeth do not grow stones, and the enamel is not covered with pigmentation, regular oral care and adherence to a number of preventive measures are necessary.

Causes of plaque

No matter how hard you try to brush your teeth, the pigment coating on them will still appear. And the more rules you break, the more intense the whiteness of enamel will fade.

To understand what is the main reason for the ugly plaque on the teeth, you should reconsider their life priorities.

1. Fans of strong black tea, as well as coffee, are potential “victims” of dental plaque. And the more often you use these drinks, the more intensive is the process of staining enamel.
2. Another “risk group” is smokers.Tobacco is a good natural dye. As part of the nicotine flakes that fill cigarettes, there are resinous substances, whose derivatives, when smoked, enter into tooth enamel, becoming the basis not only for plaque. Smokers more often than other people, are growing tartar.
3. Microcracks on the teeth, erased enamel (even slightly) - "favorable" places for the introduction of food residues. And even the usual hygienic procedures (brushing your teeth, rinsing) are not able to completely remove the crumbs. In such cases, the plaque falls unevenly, and the enamel looks spotty.

Against the background of all this, a conclusion suggests itself - you need to seriously address your own health. And the struggle for the whiteness of a smile should be daily-constant.

Ways to eliminate plaque

To follow the beauty of your teeth, you need to start small. Daily enamel cleaning should be a lifeline. And it is not enough to do it twice a day - in the morning to refresh your breath, and in the evening to get rid of the remains caught between the teeth taken during the day of food.The result will be effective if the hygienic procedure is carried out after each meal. And this, as a rule, is about 3-5 times a day, which, you see, is not always convenient. But for such cases there is a duty option: chewing gum, which you can always have on hand.

All these measures will only reduce the intensity of staining of enamel in a non-representative look. Therefore, it is necessary to shoot the raid anyway. And here there are 2 options: do it on your own at home or periodically visit the dental clinic, where they will make high-quality teeth cleaning.

Clinical assistance
To remove tartar, dental offices are visited by many. But here for cleaning enamel from a raid very few people use the services of a specialist. However, there are installations that will quickly and painlessly (and most importantly, effectively) give you a “Hollywood” smile.

1. A special abrasive machine called “Air FLOW” (“air breathing”) works on the principle of sandblasting. Only instead of the quartz component, the device is charged with soda mixed with water. Sodium bicarbonate under high pressure from the tip falls on the teeth, knocking dark film of pigment off the enamel.
2. If, in addition to stains on the teeth, there are stones, then it is better to turn to the second method of cleansing - using ultrasound. For this, there is a device called a “scaler”. The high-frequency generator produces oscillations that are directed towards the teeth with the help of a special nozzle. The touch of the vibration wave to the deposits and raids provokes their destruction. These "production wastes" are immediately washed away with water, which also flows from the nozzle. And then all the excess is removed by saliva ejectors.

The procedures described are not complicated, but there is not always time to visit the doctor’s offices. At home, however, hygiene procedures can be carried out more often, coordinating all actions with their own rhythm of life.

Special care products for teeth

To follow the beauty of tooth enamel, you should purchase special cleaning products. But they should go only as an addition to the daily cleaning of teeth.

1. Bleaching pastes with abrasive polishing effect (“Lakalut”, “Bleaching plus”, etc.) contain special granules of titanium dioxide or silicon oxide.In order not to injure the enamel, abrasive particles were specially cut by high technology.
2. Industry also produces drugs that can loosen the pigment on the enamel: chemical compounds "Pyrophosphate" and "Polydon", as well as a substance based on the vegetable enzyme "Bromelain."

Using all these tools, it should be borne in mind that they are not for daily cleaning. In the morning and in the evening it is necessary to apply only hygienic or medical paste. Whitening of the enamel with these substances is best done no more than 2 times a week.

Folk recipes

When removing plaque on enamel, you can do without the participation of chemistry. To do this, simply refer to the recipes of traditional medicine.

1. The simplest and most affordable drug that can be found in any kitchen is baking soda. To bleach, just mix a little with toothpaste and just brush your teeth. At the same time try not to do strong pressure - soda particles are somewhat abrasive. But in order to achieve whiteness, one procedure will not be enough. The frequency of the use of soda depends on the degree of contamination of your teeth.
2. A good whitening effect has hydrogen peroxide, which can be found in the home first-aid kit. She does not brush her teeth, and rinse with an aqueous solution (for half a glass of water, 1 tsp of the preparation) after using the paste. But this must be done quickly (within 1-2 seconds), so as not to burn the gums. And be sure to rinse your mouth with clean water.
3. The same peroxide can be used differently. After moistening a cotton pad with liquid, rub your teeth, trying not to touch the gums. After the procedure, rinse your mouth.
4. Our great-grandfathers also used wood ash to bleach fabrics, face and teeth. Now this component can be purchased at flower shops as a high-quality fertilizer, but used to lighten teeth. Ash can be rubbed separately into the teeth or mixed with the paste (in the same proportions). But due to increased abrasiveness, such whitening is carried out no more than 1 time per week.
5. And this recipe will be attractive to many. Experienced people claim that the strawberry has whitening properties. Only use the berries will need for a month to achieve the desired result. Having crushed a strawberry into a slurry, it is applied on a brush and brush teeth with habitual movements. Then the procedure is repeated, but with the use of toothpaste.
6. By adding a drop of essential oils (lemon and tea) to a tube of daily paste, you will struggle not only with a touch on the enamel, but also in parallel with the prevention of periodontal disease, because such a mixture will kill all the germs in the mouth.

You should not “dwell on” one of the recipes for cleaning enamel from plaque - it is better to use a set of tools (which - decide individually). The frequency of use and duration of bleaching should be dictated by the saturation of the enamel contamination. But a light, slightly yellowish bloom is not a reason to sound the alarm.
