What happen when you use salt water to brush your teeth?

Answer 1

I have had gum deasese for a long time, my gums were always red, sore, bleeding, and had bad breath, even though I brushed my teeth with toothpaste, I lost some teeth beacause of gum desease, I had a dentist and more than one, tell me that brushing you teeth with salt is good for them. About 4 or 5 years ago, I decided to start brushing with salt, so I got a small plastic bottle, 8 or 10 oz. bottle, filled it with regular table salt, carried it in my shaving kit and started brushing with salt about 2 or 3 times a week, Voila! within one week, my gums stopped bleeding, hurting, the redness was gone, my bad breath was gone, I also brush my tounge with it, I am sold on Salt toothe paste, I should have done this a lot sooner and saved more of my teeth, I also had some cavities, brushing with salt slowed down their progression, when I got them filled the dentist didn't have to grind out as much of my tooth, I could not believe how quick it really worked. I do a long 7-8 minute brush, and in between my teeth, and swish the salt in and out between my teeth, If you have gum deasease, give it a try, you have nothing to lose and maybe get to keep your teeth!

Using salt water to brush your teeth can help to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and promote healing in the gums. The salt acts as a natural disinfectant and can also help to reduce bad breath. However, it is important to use salt water in addition to regular toothpaste and not as a replacement for it.
