Spices That are Good for Your Teeth

by Divya V. Health Consultant

In addition to raising the flavor of the dishes, do you know that spices help you keep a good breath? On the other hand, it must be understood that bad breath can result from many factors.


This may be due to the presence of tartar, a decayed tooth or bleeding gums. Spices can also help you find whiter teeth and healthier gum.


In your opinion, are spices good or bad? Know that there are some spices particularly suitable for preparing herbal teas to gargle. One of these is the mallow, excellent because it has calming and healing properties, able to mitigate the symptoms of the hypersensitivity of teeth and gums.


Spices those are good for teeth:


Cardamom:

Do you already know the effectiveness of cardamom against bad breath? Their antibacterial properties help to suppress bacteria that promote bad mouth odor.


To do this, chew a green cardamom grain in the morning or clove to find fresh breath. The same goes for dried and roasted cumin seeds. Just boil a few sticks of cinnamon in water and use the solution in mouthwash after brushing. They are all equally effective against bacteria.


Nutmeg:

During your visit and dentist appointment, it might be already told you that: some foods tend to rub off on your teeth. This is the case of coffee.


But this is also the case with cigarette smoke. Also, dental plaque is a source of bad breath. If you cannot get rid of these little addictions, you can eliminate your bad breath and fine white teeth. Nutmeg is perfect for its preventive effect on the formation of dental plaque.


To do this, rub your teeth with a pinch of grated walnuts. Then, rinse with fresh water before brushing. Do the same with sesame seeds, preferably in the morning.


Those who do not want to apply aggressive chemicals to their teeth can also resort to natural alternatives. Because there is a spice that does not seem at first glance as if it could have a positive impact on tooth color. We are talking about turmeric, an aromatic root which, when ground, gives most curries their rich yellow color.


Turmeric:

Turmeric, which is indispensable especially in Indian cuisine, is a real wonder drug that has many beneficial effects on health.


The spice has an intense, slightly peppery taste with a slight bitter note and contains a variety of healthy ingredients. Several clinical studies are demonstrating that long-term regular intake of turmeric can help with many diseases, including Alzheimer's, diabetes and depression.


Turmeric binds free radicals in the blood and stimulates the production of collagen so that the skin looks younger and firmer.


Also, it has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, so that its consumption also improves oral and dental health. It is recommended to always take turmeric in combination with black pepper, as this increases the positive effect on health.


Not All Discoloration can be Eliminated:

Bleaching or turmeric can only remove deposits and discoloration on the tooth surface, but not color changes that come from within.


The dentin in the tooth naturally has a yellowish color, which becomes more and more obvious with increasing age due to the thinning enamel.


How Does Discoloration Take Place?

Also, damage in the tooth or on the tooth nerve, for example after an accident or a root canal treatment, can lead to the tooth becoming permanently darker in color, for example to bluish or blackish.


The intake of medications, such as certain antibiotics, can also discolor the teeth from the inside. In such cases, only a special treatment by the dentist can help, in which the bleaching agent is introduced into the tooth and remains there for some time to work.


Use of Veneers for Teeth:

If you do not want to, you can either live with the changed tooth color or opt for veneers. These thin plastic or ceramic veneers are glued to the visible surface of the teeth and can be designed in color according to the wishes and wishes of the patient.


However, here too applies: The health insurance pays for such a cosmetic treatment usually nothing. You can search for a dentist near my location and get an address for the recommended dentist.
