New Delhi:The health of teeth and gums is deteriorating rapidly these days. The biggest reason for problems like weak teeth, swollen gums and cavity is lack of proper care and unhealthy eating habits. Teeth are the first link of our digestive system and their healthy condition is beneficial for the entire body. If you are struggling with dental problems, then you can try some effective home remedies suggested by Lucknow’s dental expert Dr. Swati, which will kill the bacteria in the teeth and strengthen the gums.

1. Guava leaves mouthwash

According to Dr. Swati, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties are found in guava leaves, which help in reducing infection of teeth and gums. For this, wash 8-10 leaves thoroughly, boil them in a glass of water and filter the hot water. Gargling with this mixture after meals in the morning and evening kills the bacteria accumulated on the teeth and also reduces the swelling of the gums.

2. Consumption of fibrous fruits and vegetables

Your teeth can be kept clean not only by brushing but also by consuming fibrous fruits and vegetables. For example, chewing apple, carrot and cucumber naturally removes the bacterial plaque accumulated on the surface of the teeth. It acts as a natural scrub and prevents cavities from growing.

Experts believe that such fiber-rich foods not only help in cleaning teeth but also keep them healthy by massaging the gums. It also increases the flow of saliva, which helps wash away bacteria in the mouth.

3. Power of Clove Oil

Eugenol found in cloves is a natural pain reliever and antibacterial element, which provides relief from toothache, inflammation and infection. Apply clove oil on the affected tooth with the help of cotton for 10-15 minutes. This kills the harmful bacteria present there and also provides immediate relief from pain.

Everyday habits are also helpful

Along with these home remedies, also adopt habits like brushing regularly, using floss, and drinking plenty of water. To keep teeth strong, consumption of calcium-rich foods (like milk, curd) and fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C is also beneficial.

Keep in mind that these measures are for general guidance. If serious problems like pain, infection or bleeding gums persist, consult a dentist. Home remedies are not a complete substitute for medical treatment and professional advice is necessary for major problems.

A healthy and balanced diet helps you have strong teeth and strong gums, so you can smile with confidence.
