subject: Teeth And Gums - How To Keep Them In Great Condition For Years [print this page] There are many natural ways to keep your teeth and gums healthy. In more extreme cases you will need to see a dentist, but there are lots of instances where natural remedies will give you relief with your dental problems. There are quite a few natural and inexpensive ways to keep your mouth clean and healthy, which we will be sharing with you, but remember every day good dental hygiene needs to be practiced.
One of the best resources for natural remedies for your teeth is the nearest health food store. This type of store usually will provide a wide range of natural healing products. When you research your local health food stores you will find toothpastes and mouthwashes and Tea Tree Oils that will help with your dental hygiene regimen. You can find most of these products available at your local health food store; otherwise you will be able to find them online. You may think that toothpaste is simply toothpaste, but you should evaluate the differences and compare. One of the healthiest natural supplements you can take for many reasons is CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10). CoQ10 is something that exists in your body naturally, but levels decline as you get older. Aside from many other benefits, taking it regularly may reduce your risk of gum disease. You shouldn't have any problem finding CoQ10, as it's sold by lots of retailers, both online and in stores that carry nutritional supplements. Find out what form you prefer (tablets, capsules or gels), and try taking it regularly. It can also be therapeutic to get tooth care products (e.g. toothpaste, mouthwash) that has CoQ10 in them. You can't go wrong taking CoQ10 as a supplement, as it's good for you in a number of ways.
One of the remedies that has been used for many centuries is garlic, and most of the world uses it. It is used for many ailments, mainly because of its anti-bacterial properties. Many people have added garlic to their diet, and also take a supplement to lower their blood pressure and help their heart. One thing that very few people know, and that is garlic is an effective remedy for a toothache. Take a clove of garlic, and put it on the affected tooth directly. Sometimes it can cure the problem, but it will at least relieve the pain. Another remedy which can be used are onions, as they are like garlic and come from the same family. A traditional folk remedy is to chew either raw garlic or onions to keep the mouth, and the body in general, free from infections.
If you want to keep your teeth healthy, as shown by this article, it is not new to use natural products. Toothpaste hasn't been around very long, and maybe natural products that have been around a lot longer, are a better solution. This isn't to say you should ignore modern dental practices. It is best to combine everything you have, such as the advice of a dentist, along with all of the natural products you have access to.
