The correct method and steps for brushing teeth with vinegar

Vinegar is a common condiment in our daily life. Of course, in addition to being used for cooking, many people choose to use vinegar to brush their teeth in order to achieve the purpose of whitening teeth. What you need to know is that brushing your teeth with vinegar can indeed whiten your teeth, but if you brush your teeth with vinegar for a long time, it is likely to cause damage to your teeth, so when using vinegar to brush your teeth, you must master the correct method.

1. How to brush your teeth with vinegar

Either aged vinegar or white vinegar will do (but not vinegar essence). Hold it in your mouth for 1 to 3 minutes, then spit it out and brush your teeth.

The effect is very good. But the teeth will feel very sour and numb (the feeling will last about 2 minutes) and cannot be continued. Do it frequently, about once every 2 months or so, and it will be fine. Otherwise it is bad for your teeth. It is a good way to deal with emergencies (such as when you find your teeth are very yellow before going out on a date).

2. Frequent brushing with vinegar can cause tooth damage

Often holding vinegar in your mouth and brushing your teeth does have a certain effect in whitening teeth, but the effect is very slight. If you don't pay attention, you may not even see it, which is the same as having no effect. Moreover, this whitening effect is based on damaging the teeth.

You should know that doing this frequently will cause the enamel on the surface of the teeth to be corroded by vinegar. After the enamel is corroded, the body of the tooth will be corroded. If this continues for a long time, the teeth will become thinner and smaller. Even the surface of the teeth will be corroded by vinegar into extremely irregular shapes. Furthermore, the whitening effect achieved with this method is only mild and short-lived.

3. What else are teeth afraid of besides vinegar?

In fact, in addition to vinegar, there are many things that teeth are afraid of in life. For example, unlike the legend of brushing teeth for three minutes after adding vinegar to brighten teeth, brushing teeth with lemon juice can actually cause tooth corrosion, because lemon juice, like vinegar, will corrode tooth enamel, making teeth more vulnerable to damage and more likely to turn yellow and black.

Therefore, friends who have listened to this method in life, it is best to stop immediately. Otherwise, the yellowing and blackening of teeth can be considered a small matter, but the teeth are corroded by the acidic lemon juice and become thinner and more brittle. It is very likely that the teeth will fall out, causing irreversible damage. By then, it will be too late to regret.
