The teeth and oral health systems are ever-changing environments, just like the rest of the organs and systems in the body. To promote a healthy mouth, it is optimal to care for the body with ingredients that aren\u2019t secretly harming your teeth or gums. There are techniques to help naturally remineralize your teeth<\/a> and there are DIY recipes designed to promote optimal oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you can care for your teeth with a variety of DIY products, keeping a healthy mouth first starts with a healthy diet. Continually eating foods that are difficult to digest and low in nutrients can result in a poor functioning digestive system. Always remember that your mouth emulates the health of your gut. Studies have shown that people who made the plant-based shift had improved oral hygiene, in addition to better functioning digestive systems. Combine your plant-based diet with the DIY practices below and people will be asking what your secrets to healthy teeth are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try Oil Pulling To Keep Your Mouth Healthy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bad breath<\/a>, medically known as halitosis, is typically the result of having an excess amount of toxins or bacteria in the mouth. The natural properties in coconut oil<\/a> help to attack the bacteria, helping to naturally freshen your breath and oral health. Oil pulling works especially well on the Streptococcus mutans<\/em> bacterium, which can cause cavities, gingivitis, or other oral health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Can Use Activated Charcoal To Whiten Your Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many videos of people brushing their teeth with charcoal products have surfaced around the web lately. Activated charcoal helps to promote great oral hygiene by balancing the pH levels<\/a> in your mouth. It also helps to whiten your teeth<\/a>, removing coffee, tea, or berry stains. Be careful not to brush with activated charcoal too much because it can be a bit abrasive to your gums and enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

One of the benefits of using a DIY toothpaste is that it doesn\u2019t contain foaming agents. A lot of toothpastes contain foaming agents like sodium laureth sulfate (SLS) or sodium laurel suflate, which interfere with your taste buds by breaking up phospholipids on the tongue. SLS has also been linked to the development of canker sores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
