During surgery, a certain concentration of salt water is often used to wash wounds, and some people also often use salt to brush their teeth. Is it good to brush your teeth with salt? Although brushing your teeth with salt has a certain cleaning effect, it is harmful to human health.

Because salt is a mineral, it is a hard, angular crystal. This characteristic can be seen with the naked eye in coarse salt, and can also be seen with a microscope in fine salt. Therefore, when brushing your teeth with salt, the hard and sharp edges of the crystals will wear away the enamel on the surface of the teeth, leaving fine grooves on the tooth surface, exposing the dentin and causing the same consequences as "tooth decay": unbearable pain will occur when encountering sour, sweet, cold, hot and other stimuli.

At the same time, the surface of the gums is covered with a layer of soft, pink mucous membrane. Brushing your teeth with salt will cause bleeding gums due to excessive stimulation and friction of the mucous membrane. Therefore, you should use toothpaste and tooth powder when brushing your teeth, not salt.
