Prepare a mouthwash that prevents the formation of tartar, but can also be easily removed. All you need is peppermint oil, lemon juice and anise and a glass of water.
Tartar or dental plaque is a hard, yellowish and gray plaque on the teeth that usually appears on the lower teeth and is associated with genetics, poor dental hygiene, coffee, carbonated drinks and cigarettes.
It contains large amounts bacteria, which produce many acids that destroy the structure of tooth enamel and can cause caries. Over time, it causes inflammation of the gums, which become swollen, red and painful to the touch.
Untreated inflammation of the gums it can affect the ligaments that hold the tooth in the bone and the surrounding bone. In such chronic forms, the periodontium disappears and the bone itself recedes, which is found in the patient's mouth as these pockets between the teeth and the gums, and the loss of bone around the teeth is visible on an X-ray - and the inevitable periodontosis is indicated as the final stage, doctors warn.
