Nowadays, apple cider vinegar is gaining its popularity in the healthcare community due to its large health benefits. They contain beneficial bacteria because of the fermentation process.

No doubt, apple cider vinegar is a boon as it enhances both our physical health as well as dental health. Here are some of the benefits of apple cider vinegar for teeth.

Reduces toothache

Apple cider vinegar is a great medicine to reduce toothache, and also it is approved by dentists. It is one of the best natural remedies to cure toothache. Take two or three teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and swish it around your mouth.

This method kills bacteria in your mouth and reduces infection. This also reduces pain and inflammation gradually. After swishing, it is important to spit it completely and rinse it with clean water thoroughly.

You can repeat this process one or two times daily to prevent various dental problems and to enhance health.

Prevents Gingivitis

Gingivitis/Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems that infect your gum and becomes swollen. Symptoms include bleeding in gums while brushing and flossing your teeth plus bad breath. If this problem is left untreated, it develops into various periodontal problems.

Prevention is the best medicine to avoid such problems. Fortunately, apple cider vinegar is there for you to help. It is a natural remedy that has been in use for over 5000 years.

Mix apple cider vinegar with water and rinse it in your mouth. For effective results, follow this 2 to three times a day. Due to its acid, it balances pH level normally and prevents the accumulation of bacteria in between teeth and gums. It is recommended to use it appropriately due to its high acidity. Always eat acidic foods in the limit as it damages your teeth enamel.

Teeth whitening

Are you one of those who ignore to show your teeth because of yellow teeth? A beautiful and confident smile is always important. That’s why teeth whitening has become popular, and here comes the role of apple cider vinegar. Like coconut oil, it has anti-inflammatory properties that naturally clean your teeth and gum. 

Take apple cider vinegar and dip it with your finger. Gently rub it on your teeth for about one to two minutes. Avoid contact with your tooth enamel and rinse thoroughly. Follow this method daily for the best possible result.

Rather than using hard chemicals to bleach your teeth, always use this natural remedy to whiten your teeth.

Eliminates bad breath

Apple cider vinegar balances pH level in your mouth and enhances digestion. Bacteria that accumulate in between your teeth and gums will be washed away. Due to this, bad breath will be eliminated effectively.

Natural mouthwash

Using artificial mouthwash simply kills all the bacteria in your mouth. This is not a good thing. Apple cider vinegar is used as a mouthwash that kills only the bad bacteria in your mouth.

Take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and mix it with one cup of distilled water. Store this for one week and use it as a quick mouthwash.

That’s it. But whatever the problem goes extreme, consult a dentist immediately. Try to follow natural remedies rather than chemicals to avoid any side effects. If you are trying any artificial product, please use it as per the dentist’s advice.
