Bacteria left untreated inside your mouth will cause gum diseases, toothache, bad breath and worst losing of teeth. Fortunately, there are natural remedies you can make to kill some if not all of these bacteria. Using herbs is one example and this formula would require 2 parts white oak bark herb, 1 part myrrh gum herb, ¾ part peppermint leaves, ½ part anise herb and a/8 part clove. All the herbs and leaves must be in powder form. Just mix everything and put in a container. What you will do is to use it just like how you will use your toothpaste. But you are not supposed to rinse them immediately to keep the active herb powders in your mouth.

Put sealants on teeth. Dental sealants are thin, plastic films painted on chewing surfaces of the back teeth that serve as a host to food debris and plaque build-up. They are highly effective in the prevention of tooth decay. In fact, research has shown that sealants actually stop cavities when placed on top of a slightly decayed tooth because it seals off the supply of nutrients to the bacteria that causes the cavity. Sealants are especially beneficial for children because their newly erupted, permanent teeth are most susceptible to cavities, however patients of all ages can benefit from dental sealants.
