Dental insurance cover should understand the importance of a healthy smile. Sometimes that's all you need to look beautiful :-)

Teeth and Gums

• Eat apples, pears or melons for mouth cleansing and to prevent tooth decay at least an hour after meals as part of the proper dental hygiene routine.
• As a gargle in dental hygiene, use 3 teaspoons cider vinegar in 1 glass water in the morning and night.
• Mix a pinch of pepper powder with ¼ teaspoon common salt. Use it daily in dental hygiene to prevent dental caries, bad breath, bleeding and painful gums and toothache.
• Boil ½ teaspoon black seed in 1 cup vinegar and use it to rinse teeth and gums.
• For loose teeth, mix ½ teaspoon mustard oil with a little salt. Use this mixture to massage teeth and gums with for 10 minutes 2x daily.
• Add 1 teaspoon each cinnamon and cardamom into 1 glass boiling water. Filter and use as a gargle when warm.
• Massage affected gums with olive oil and ordinary salt.
• For severe toothache and gum disease with pus, mix grounded pineapple pith with a little salt and paste on the side of the cheek with the aching tooth and gums. Let dry, and repeat as part of the dental hygiene routine until condition improves.
• For gum ailments or abscess, gargle 1 teaspoon grounded fried cloves and add to in 1 cup lukewarm water. Do it frequently for dental hygiene. Alternatively, place chewed clove on the gum, or soak a cotton ball in clove oil and place on the affected area.
• For oral abscess, apply raspberry or comfrey leaves soaked in hot water (for a few minutes) to the area.
• For gingivitis and bleeding gums, drink 1 teaspoon lime or lemon juice in 1 cup water often. Also, massage the gums with coconut oil frequently.
