Q&A

• Why is vitamin C important for oral health?

  Vitamin C is essential for supporting collagen and gum health. It's necessary for preventing issues like gum bleeding and potential health problems such as scurvy. Sugar depletes vitamin C from the body, leading to gum problems, potential health issues like leaky gut, and cardiovascular problems.

• How does coconut oil relate to dental health?

  Coconut oil can reduce bad breath and gum disease due to its high lauric acid content. Oil pulling with coconut oil is as effective as prescription mouthwash in reducing gingivitis. Additionally, there may be a relationship between sugar, glucose, and vitamin C in the context of oral and overall health.

• What is oil pulling, and how does it relate to oral hygiene?

  Oil pulling is an ancient practice for oral hygiene that involves swishing oil in your mouth to improve dental health. It can help reduce bad breath, gum disease, and plaque. Coconut or sesame seed oil are commonly used for oil pulling.

• How can I make a natural hydrogen peroxide and baking soda paste for teeth whitening?

  You can create a paste with 1 teaspoon baking soda, 3 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide, and 8 drops of water. The oxygen in the hydrogen peroxide breaks up the molecules causing stains on the teeth. Gently brush both the outside and inside of the teeth to reduce bacteria and plaque.

• Can high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide damage teeth and gums?

  Yes, high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide can potentially damage gums and dehydrate teeth. It's recommended to use 3% hydrogen peroxide for teeth whitening to avoid these risks.

• What are some inexpensive ingredients for teeth whitening at home?

  You can whiten your teeth at home using inexpensive ingredients like baking soda and 3% hydrogen peroxide. These natural remedies can effectively remove stains from coffee, tea, and red wine without the need for expensive dental procedures or whitening strips.
