Effectively Removing Dental Tartar at Home

Tartar is a dental plaque deposit that can spoil the smile and harm health and social life. Indeed, tartar is a layer adhering to the teeth and gums which does not disappear with brushing and causes gum disease, cavities, loosening teeth and bad breath. Dental scaling is a medical procedure that must be carried out by a dentist, but before getting to this step here are some tips for eliminating tartar and preventing it.

WHAT IS DENTAL TARTAR?

Tartar is the result of the thickening and calcification of dental plaque. This is a film that is made up of bacteria and food residue that accumulates on the teeth. Rigorous oral hygiene is enough to eliminate the plaque that forms daily and therefore prevent the formation of tartar.

CAUSES AND AGGRAVING FACTORS

Some people will develop dental tartar more easily than others, and this is due to several factors: the composition of saliva, fragile enamel, irregular teeth, hormonal changes (pregnancy, puberty, diabetes, thyroid disease) … Certain habits such as excessive consumption of sugary foods and drinks, smoking and coloring drinks such as coffee, black tea and all foods that contain coloring, also promote the deposit of tartar on the teeth. Furthermore, impeccable food hygiene is necessary to prevent the formation of dental plaque and tartar.

THE CONSEQUENCES
Dental tartar can progress to more serious disorders such as gingivitis, periodontitis (inflammation of the tissues that support the tooth), loosening of tooth roots, persistent bad breath and sometimes even tooth loss. It is therefore essential to prevent and treat it.

ELIMINATE TARTAR NATURALLY
There is an answer in nature to this problem which allows you to remove tartar and regain white and healthy teeth. This is a treatment to be carried out once a week, without forgetting to maintain impeccable daily oral hygiene.

Here is the home treatment to remove tartar from teeth:

Save your newspaper!!!

As homeowners and gardeners, many of us are continuously looking for ways to reduce the amount of waste we put into landfills, increasing our sustainability. We build compost piles in our yards to cut down on the amount of food waste we dispose and recycle plastics, metal cans, glass bottles and jars, and as much paper as possible. Other than adding old newspapers to our recycling bins, there are many useful ways to incorporate them into the garden.
There is some debate over whether or not it’s safe to add newspaper to your garden because of the ink used in the printing process. Rest assured, it’s okay to go ahead and implement some of the following uses. The majority of newspapers today are printed using a soy-based ink that is environmentally friendly.

1. Line the bottom of raised beds

Raised bed gardening is popping up in backyards all over because of its numerous advantages ranging from increased yields to easy gardening access for people with mobility issues. When constructing raised beds, line the bottom of the structure with layers of newspaper to keep weeds from growing up through the garden soil underneath.

2. Weed barrier under mulch

Adding a layer of mulch – whether it be pine needles, grass clippings, or commercial bark mulch – is an effective way to retain soil moisture and insulate the soil to keep plants thriving. It also helps to prevent weeds from coming up, competing with your plants for sunlight, water, and nutrients. To reduce weeds even further spread a layer of newspaper down on the soil surface before adding your desired mulch.

3. Keep potting soil in containers
