Siwak is Cheap and Natural Oral Health device

Posted on by

When people are talking about oral health device, the first thing that came to people’s mind is about toothbrush. Toothbrush is the most popular oral health device in the world, followed by dental floss as the second most used oral health device. But just a few people are aware with Siwak. Siwak is teeth cleaning twig made from a twig of the Salvadora persica tree which is known as the arak tree.

Because of the rapid development of technology, people only use usual toothbrush to clean their teeth or maybe using electrical toothbrush which is sometimes less effective in combating and cleaning tooth bacteria.

::. Why Must Siwak?

This is an interesting question, “why must we use Siwak if there is a toothbrush with the toothpaste which is easier to use and also has hygiene appearance?” I believe that a sentence “don’t judge the book by its cover” is very suitable for this area, although Siwak has an ugly appearance which makes a lot of people lazy to use it; the observation and research said that Siwak can increase human immune system.

Moreover, the world’s health organization (WHO) recommends the use of Siwak since 1986 and 2000. Few people doubted about this Medicare recommendation, but a recent research by Dr. Otaybi from Saudi Arabia has just showed that Siwak can improve human’s immune system, and also has an anti-addiction effect on smokers. How about you? Do you still doubt with Siwak as the most effective, cheap and natural oral health device?

Choosing the Right Toothpaste

When I go to the dentist, I learnt a new lesson about how to choose the right toothpaste for me. Well, I believe that this topic is the most underrated topic in health especially oral health section. Sometimes we are interested with the funny and catchy commercial ads of toothpaste, so we decided to buy and use that toothpaste. For some other reason, people will usually never buy the toothpaste which is different from the toothpaste that they had been use since they were a teen. This reflects that people do not pay attention about what toothpaste they have or they must use.

What I learnt from my dentist is to avoid buying toothpaste that having a substance I should stay away from. Let get this clearer; if I want to clear my bad breath, I should avoid buying toothpaste that contains baking soda. Why? The reason is that baking soda is a drying agent and it will obviously dry out your mouth and it is the trigger to bad breath.

::. Nothing is perfect

Yes, nothing is perfect, so does toothpaste. If you want to keep your teeth white, you should find the toothpaste that has peroxide as the base ingredients inside. Peroxide acts like a bleaching agent which is able to remove deep stains on your teeth surface. However, if you don’t keep your diet, that stains will always accumulate on your teeth surface and eventually the peroxide is not able to handle it anymore. That’s why keeping your diet is also important besides choosing the right toothpaste for you. If you are inconvenient with your yellow teeth you may go to your dentist to do some teeth whitening process using laser.
