Traditional medicine offers a lot of means for maintaining health, which are not much weaker than medications manufactured by the pharmaceutical industry, and as for their greater safety, it is not worth talking about this, who has not heard this. However, few people know that dental health can also be maintained with folk remedies, although in the conditions of modern urban life it is still better to do this not instead of using ordinary hygienic oral care products such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, but with them.

Nevertheless, be aware that if you went, say, on a hike, and there was no toothbrush at hand and there is nowhere to buy it, then you can replace it with a twig with a brush-shaped end. Such a twig will not penetrate, of course, into the notorious hard-to-reach places, and therefore it is not an alternative to a toothbrush, but this tool is better than nothing, has long been used by different peoples and can maintain dental health until you find yourself close to civilization and don't buy yourself a toothbrush.

What if there is no toothpaste? In this case, you can use a tooth powder made from activated carbon. To do it, you just need to grind two tablets of activated carbon, making sure that the powder is fine, since large particles can injure the gums. By the way, the use of unusually black powder is recommended for everyone who wants to whiten their teeth at home - then it should be used as follows: within one week, replace it with the usual brushing of teeth with paste, once a day. You do not need to use this tool all the time, since dental health can suffer: due to the abrasive properties, any powders can harm the tooth enamel.

Dental health is closely related to gum health. In order to keep the gums healthy, medicinal herbs have long been used in folk tradition, and medicinal plants are used very actively in official dentistry. As an example, we can cite such popular medicines as Rotokan and Maraslavin, in which the active ingredients are presented exclusively by herbal ingredients. Effective means for strengthening the gums are decoctions and infusions of chamomile, calendula, calamus, sage, oak bark and other plants that have an anti-inflammatory effect.

In case of bad breath, it is also recommended to rinse your mouth with decoctions of herbs, and also chew lemon, which, in addition to the deodorizing effect, saturates the body with vitamins and strengthens blood vessels. Not only lemon is effective, but its zest, only after chewing it should not be swallowed, but spit out. However, in this case, it must be remembered that bad breath does not appear on its own, if it persists, then, most likely, you need to take care of your dental health by making an appointment with the dentist.
