We are living in the midst of an unprecedented crisis, which has changed our lives and what we used to consider normal. Overnight, we have had to stock up on supplies, avoid contact with others, and prepare for stay at home for an unforeseeable number of days. Covid-19 can be considered as the biggest threat that we have lived through and even continue to reel under at the moment. In a public health emergency such as now, the lack of a vaccine has made us wary of stepping outside and with lockdowns imposed countrywide, it has been difficult for us to go about our normal day-to-day lives.

We are living in the midst of an unprecedented crisis, which has changed our lives and what we used to consider normal. Overnight, we have had to stock up on supplies, avoid contact with others, and prepare for stay at home for an unforeseeable number of days. Covid-19 can be considered as the biggest threat that we have lived through and even continue to reel under at the moment. In a public health emergency such as now, the lack of a vaccine has made us wary of stepping outside and with lockdowns imposed countrywide, it has been difficult for us to go about our normal day-to-day lives. While the need for medical professionals has surged drastically in the fight against the novel coronavirus, any non-emergency procedure has been put on hold, while we continue to heal from the present crisis. In such a time, many individuals who relied on dentists and dental hygienists for oral check-ups and dental cleanings at regular intervals have found themselves looking for alternatives for the moment. While a professional dental cleaning is the best way to keep your pearly whites in proper shape, there are various innovative ways which you can adopt for the moment, and practice proper dental hygiene at home.
Oil pulling is a traditional method of naturally whitening your teeth. It is a great way to improve one’s oral hygiene and also to remove the toxins from one’s body. Oil pulling involves swishing some oil around your mouth, with an aim to remove harmful bacteria, which is the leading cause for plaque, which, in turn, makes your teeth appear yellowish in colour. With regular oil pulling, you can hope to see better results for your teeth. It is a completely safe procedure and doing this every day for 15-20 minutes can be quite beneficial.
If you look at the ingredients in a regular toothpaste you use, you will most likely find baking soda to be an active ingredient in it. This is because baking soda is said to have natural whitening properties. Any sort of persistent stain on your tooth that refuse to go can be easily removed with the help of baking soda. Daily brushing with baking soda will help you achieve whiter and brighter teeth over time.
Hydrogen peroxide is a popular natural bleaching agent, which is known to kill the bacteria in your mouth. But while hydrogen peroxide is quite popular an ingredient in commercial toothpastes available in the market, it is to be used in highly diluted quantities in order for it to be safely used. You will find drugstores offering mouthwashes, with a 1-3% concentration of hydrogen peroxide in them. This can be safely used twice in a day in order to keep germs away and maintain proper dental hygiene. A healthy combination would be mixing 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and using this paste to brush your teeth every day. The results can be significant in making your teeth appear whiter than before.
A diet that is rich in vegetables and fruits is very good both for your body as well as your mouth. Raw fruits and vegetables help in the removal of plaque from the teeth, given that they can rub the plaque away while chewing. Fruits such as pineapples and strawberries are also known to help whiten the teeth significantly. Over time, you are sure to see that your teeth appear brighter and whiter than before.
When it comes to maintaining your oral hygiene, brushing and flossing appropriately will always be the best form of hygiene. You can prevent the build-up of plaque in your teeth significantly and as such help to keep your teeth white and bright. Even though doing both of the processes can be a bit time-consuming, the benefits far outweigh the effort that is needed for brushing and flossing.
Until it is possible for everyone to step out like before and undertake everyday activities, it is unlikely that you will be able to see your dentists for tooth whitening services. We, EJC Dentistry Are Here To Help You Out!!!
