ACV For Teeth and Overall Oral Health
  • ACV prevents tooth decay
  • It also helps your teeth to retain their natural white
  • It eliminates the root causes of bad breath such as plaque-buildup, mouth infection, and indigestion
The bacterial film in your teeth, commonly known as plaque, is responsible for tooth decay, cavities, staining, infections, and bad breath. ACV, being antibacterial, can fix all these problems by removing the bacteria. It also treats fungal infections in the mouth, eases digestion, and treats sore throat, thereby eliminating the root causes of bad breath. But use it with caution for undiluted ACV can erode the tooth enamel.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV), made from fermenting the sugars of apples, is one of the most commonly used vinegars in your dishes. It is believed that ACV is filled with nutrients that are capable of aiding weight loss, keeping diabetes in check, and even preventing cancer. Apple cider vinegar is also a great remedy for a horde of dental problems. From preventing teeth staining to reducing bad breath, ACV could be the answer to all your dental woes. Let’s dig a little deeper.

It Keeps Your Teeth Healthy And Whole

Your teeth house bacteria in the form of a clear, sticky mass, called plaque. This often acts on sugary foods and drinks, producing corrosive acids that decay your teeth, making cavities and causing gum diseases.

Rinsing your mouth with apple cider vinegar, an antibacterial agent, followed by swishing cold water in the mouth, is known to be a useful preventive measure against tooth decay or other bacterial effects. This is because, when used regularly, ACV can remove the plaque-causing bacteria and keep it from growing back.

And Also Squeaky Clean

You know how big a dent a teeth-whitening treatment at the dentist can leave in your pocket. Apple cider vinegar has proven antibacterial properties,1 thanks to which it has been recommended as a cleanser for dentures.2

It Helps Your Teeth Retain Their Natural White

Teeth generally turn yellow because of the build-up of plaque, which releases pigments. ACV kills the bacteria in your mouth and gums and prevents stains. The astringent, acidic nature of the vinegar is believed to be responsible for this.

But while many claim it also cleans stains once they have formed, there’s little scientific evidence to back that.

It Eliminates The Root Causes Of Bad Breath

Bad breath can be caused by plaque build-up, or mouth infections, or even from improper digestion and sore throats.
  • Prevents And Treats Infections
Apple cider vinegar has antifungal and antimicrobial properties.3 In fact, it has proved quite effective against a fungus called candida that infects the mucous membranes in the mouth below the dentures, leading to a condition called denture stomatitis.4
  • Improves Digestion
In its raw form, apple cider vinegar is known to aid digestion. The living enzymes present in the vinegar break the food down and make it easier for the body to digest the food. The acetic acid in ACV also helps absorb minerals in your food more efficiently.
