In total, several varieties of soda are known:

View	Description
Food	It is used for food and medical purposes
Calcined	Used for washing and cleaning, dirty things or products
Caustic	Dangerous alkali, which is used in industrial production and for cleaning some types of pollution in everyday life

They differ in composition and properties, chemical properties. The substance does not burn and enters into alkaline reactions with other chemical elements.

Compound

Soda or sodium bicarbonate refers to the salts of carbonic acid. It has a weak acidity and is a crystalline substance.

During heat treatment, when the temperature exceeds 50-60 ° C, the process of its decomposition into its constituent parts begins. Carbon dioxide molecules decompose, leaving sodium carbonate. It turns out soda ash.

When interacting with acids, forms:

• salts: chloride, acetate and sodium sulfate;
• carbonic acid, which quickly decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

The powder is completely insoluble in water and traces of it can be seen when filtering the solution.

Baking soda contains 99% of the capitalized bicarbonate. The chemical formula of the substance is NaHCO3.

Medicinal and useful properties

In case of acute toothache, dentists advise using baking soda as one of the ways to remove it if there is no way to go to the doctor. Sometimes during treatment, dentists prescribe rinsing with this component to relieve inflammation and prevent the spread of infection.

This is only part of the main treatment process, but it is important for the normalization of the patient's condition. Soda is not toxic and therefore does not pose a danger to humans, when rinsing, most of the harmful microbes are removed and the teeth become whiter.

It is only important to make the solution correctly, without overestimating the concentration of the active substance. Rinsing the mouth with sodium bicarbonate reduces bleeding in the gum area, removes inflammation, such as gumboil. In some cases, baking soda is used as a dentifrice.

It is enough to take a little baking soda on the tip of the brush and add a few drops of water. The teeth will be protected from the buildup of plaque, which can turn into tartar. However, it should be remembered that excessive enthusiasm for such cleaning can ruin the enamel of the teeth.

Such cleaning is best done once every few days or a week. A very weak baking soda solution can be used for rinsing during the day to rid the mucous membrane and gums of harmful microorganisms. Rinsing should not be done frequently to maintain the integrity of the enamel.

This substance is also excellent for whitening teeth. However, given that such a procedure can thin the enamel layer, it is better to use less aggressive compounds. The dentist will advise you on what is best to choose so that your smile remains white and your teeth are healthy.

Soda solution for rinsing your teeth can bring the following beneficial effects:

• removal of the process of inflammation;
• reduction of pain sensations;
• a decrease in the activity of the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria;
• powerful antiseptic effect;
• protection of a healthy part of tissues from attack by a pathogenic environment;
• the absence of a negative reaction to contact with soda in the overwhelming number of patients;
• safety of use at any age and no harm to systems and organs.

Even when a toothache hurts, the effect of a soda solution can not only remove it, but also additionally kill other bacteria present in the oral cavity.

Potential harm

After a series of studies, experts came to the conclusion that a solution of soda and salt can be harmful to humans in some cases.

They are related to the fact that:

• the harsh exposure of soda to harmful bacteria can injure the mucous membrane of the throat and make it vulnerable to the entry of a pathogenic environment. The ingress of a small fraction of the soda solution into the gastrointestinal system strikes at its performance;
• salt, in addition to removing purulent secretions, slightly corrodes the mucous membrane, which gives such a side effect as dry mouth, perspiration and cough;
• iodine has a depressing effect on the thyroid gland.

Contraindications

When properly prepared, a solution containing soda cannot harm the human body. However, there are a number of conditions in which it is better to abandon the use of this tool.

These include:

• intolerance to the constituent components;
• too young age of the patient. Babies are not able to rinse their mouths properly and can swallow the solution without cleaning the mouth. Then the procedure will be ineffective;
• if the person has diseases such as stroke, brain disease, or has a skull injury;
• enamel is too sensitive to the effects of even not too aggressive components;
• with dementia;
• in the case when the muscle tissue of the palate is too weak.

Even if rinsing with a soda solution will have a positive result, with such contraindications, it is better to find another way to relieve the problem. It is better to do this together with a doctor.

In addition, if a tooth was recently extracted, it is better to refuse such prophylaxis within the next 2 days so that the tissues can tighten. Also, such concentrated solutions should not be used during pregnancy. If it gets inside the body, even in scanty doses, it causes nausea and vomiting.

Rinsing rules

In order for the rinsing procedure to become truly effective, the following rules must be observed:

• brush your teeth and mouth before rinsing. This will get rid of food debris and some of the harmful bacteria;
  
• the temperature of the solution should be comfortable (about 30 ° C). If you use a hot substance, you can burn the mucous membrane. A cold solution will increase pain upon contact with inflamed tissue: this will only help when there are abscesses in the mouth;
• only fresh solutions are used for the procedure so that they do not lose their beneficial qualities;
• most of the attention should be paid to the problem area, tilting the head in the direction where the aching tooth is located;
• after rinsing, the solution must be spat out, not swallowed;
• the rinsing process carried out to relieve toothache should not last less than 5 minutes. At the same time, it is recommended to change the solution in the mouth every half a minute;
• rinsing is best repeated after any meal or more often;
• if after rinsing the pain subsides, you still need to consult a doctor to understand why the pain appeared and how to solve the problem professionally.

As a preventive measure, it is recommended to rinse with water after each meal. This will relieve pain and prevent the formation of stones.

Traditional medicine recipes

If the doctor recommended using effective folk methods for improving teeth, most often it will be solutions based on soda and its combination with other beneficial substances. You can prepare a simple solution yourself.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. The water is boiled and then cooled to a comfortable temperature (35-38 ° C).
2. Soda is added to it and thoroughly stirred (1 tsp. l.).

   

3. After complete dissolution, the procedure can be carried out. This should be done when the solution is ready.

This is a common way to make a soda rinse solution. This simple method should be followed after consulting a doctor. The procedure is done daily, every morning. After the basic hygiene procedures are completed, rinsing begins. In this case, it will give the desired effect.

In addition, there are other interesting and effective soda-based mouthwash recipes.

Salt with baking soda

Soda rinse with salt is one of the most well-known and proven ways to relieve toothache and symptoms of infection. For cooking, you need to take 1 tsp. l. of each ingredient and dilute them in 100 g of warm purified water.

For greater effectiveness, you can add a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil or use chamomile decoction to dissolve. After complete dissolution in the liquid, the product is used immediately.

It is enough to rinse for 1-2 minutes after brushing your teeth. Sometimes doctors advise doing the procedure after a tooth is pulled out. However, this is not always effective.

Salt, soda and iodine

This is a great way to get rid of a toothache. In this case, a few drops of iodine are added to the composition described above. In addition, the remedy is useful for tooth decay and bleeding gums.

Rinsing for severe pain is carried out every 2 hours until the pain is relieved. To improve the effect, a little sea salt is added to the liquid, which will give a good result.

Soda soda

First, a sage tincture is made. Raw materials can be dry or fresh. After infusion and straining, iodine (3-4 drops) and 3 g of soda are added to the liquid. The liquid is taken in the size of a glass (200 g). Rinsing is done 2 times a day and allows you to get rid of toothache and stomatitis.

The use of soda in different proportions and in combination with other substances helps to create unique formulations for quickly getting rid of oral problems. Usually the course of a regular soda rinse, agreed with the doctor, lasts about a week.

If salt is added to the solution, 4-5 days will be enough. When combined with iodine, the cause of infection or pain can be removed in 2-3 days. Only a doctor can tell when to stop rinsing.

Soda and hydrogen peroxide

To reduce the impact of harmful microbes in the oral cavity and get rid of the unpleasant smell of rotting, it is recommended to add a little hydrogen peroxide to the soda solution.

To prepare the solution, you need 1 tbsp. warm water (250 ml), in which 3 tbsp. l. hydrogen peroxide (3%) and 1 tbsp. l. soda. The rinse is carried out immediately after dissolution in the usual way after a meal. It is not recommended to swallow it.

How to rinse

After preparing a simple solution of 1 tbsp. water and 1 tsp. l. salt, as well as the addition of additional components that enhance the therapeutic effect, the procedure itself is carried out. After the liquid has entered the mouth, the patient should rinse it thoroughly, paying the greatest attention to the diseased area.

If rinsing is prescribed after the removal of a diseased tooth, it is not done too intensively, trying to simply disinfect the mucous membrane, and do not wash out the blood clots from the not completely healed hole. They protect the wound from infection.

If the wound remains open, the possibility of developing inflammation of the tooth socket increases.

We must not forget that soda is not a pure medicine. It only helps to get rid of the problem for a while, so rinsing should be used in conjunction with the main treatment recommended by the doctor.

When is mouthwash recommended?

Soda solution for rinsing the teeth, as well as other special compounds, can preserve the health of teeth and gums and solve problems that have arisen in the oral cavity.

In this regard, these procedures are divided into several types:

• hygienic;
• preventive;
• with a therapeutic bias.

Rinsing regularly can help with the following problems:

• Removing food debris and plaque in difficult areas where the brush is ineffective. Rinsing is the prevention of tooth decay;
• to exclude the formation of tartar, causing inflammation of the gum area;
• as a remedy to strengthen the gums and improve oral health, fresh breath and whitening teeth.

Experts recommend doing mandatory rinsing for diseases such as:

• stomatitis, gingivitis and other problems arising from damage to the mucous membrane and gums;
• periodontal disease and periodontitis;
• pain in the teeth (sharp, dull).

You can start such treatment only after consulting your doctor. It will be part of a general treatment that is tailored to the symptoms of the illness and the condition of the patient. Gargling with baking soda solutions temporarily relieves pain, infection, and swelling.

However, it is not a substitute for complete treatment. The use of these methods of dental and oral cavity treatment should be considered with the attending physician.

Despite the harmlessness of such treatment, it has contraindications that make it impossible to use rinses for certain categories of patients. Only comprehensive measures will allow you to return a beautiful smile and get rid of pain.
