Which essential oils for white teeth?
Teeth often lose their brightness over time, tending to yellow or stain.diet, but also smoking and oral hygiene have an impact on the color of teeth, which can gradually turn gray or yellow. But you can also have less-than-white teeth simply for genetic reasons.
One effective essential oil is all you need to whiten teeth: lemon essential oil(Citrus limonum)
Which essential oils for fresh breath?
For oral care, it's best to use essential oils with antibacterial and anti-infectious properties, ideally with a pleasant taste. After that, it's up to you to decide what you prefer and what's available in your care kit!
For fresh breath and good oral hygiene, we've listed a selection for you:
- lemon essential oil Citrus limonum
- clary sage essential oil Salvia sclarea
- eucalyptus globulus essential oil
- tea tree essential oilMelaleucaalternifolia
- peppermint essential oil Mentha piperita
- clove essential oil Eugenia caryophyllus
- cinnamon bark essential oil Cinnamomun verum (gives a slightly sweet taste)
Use
Simply place a small amount of toothpaste on your toothbrush, then add one drop (and only one) of the essential oil of your choice.
Except for cinnamon and clove, which should be diluted in more toothpaste because of their dermocaustic effect. Use the equivalent of a tablespoon of toothpaste in which you dilute 1 drop of these two essential oils. Stir well to dissolve. Brush your teeth as usual.
Instead of toothpaste, you can also use aloe vera gel, which is particularly recommended for sensitive teeth and gums. Lemon and tea tree essential oils can also be poured directly onto the toothbrush, provided you limit yourself to just 1 drop.
