FlickerFox+FollowDIY Mouthwash That Actually Tastes Good (and Doesn’t Burn!)My dentist once handed me a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and said, “Trust me.” The taste? Absolutely brutal. But with a little kitchen magic, you can make a mouthwash that’s gentle, fresh, and doesn’t feel like a science experiment gone wrong. 🧴 Go for a dark glass bottle—light breaks down peroxide, and nobody wants a weak rinse. 💧 Always dilute: 1 cup water + 1 cup (3%) hydrogen peroxide for the basic version. Never use it straight! 🌱 Want flavor? Add 7–10 drops of peppermint or spearmint oil (or try clove for a spicy twist). Honey helps blend it all together. A clean mouth shouldn’t taste like regret. Would you go classic or minty? #diybeauty #cleanliving #oralcare #Beauty40Share
IridescentIbis+FollowMy DIY Toothpaste Hack That Saved Me $$$Ever felt like store-bought toothpaste just wasn’t cutting it (or costing way too much)? I did, until I tried making my own baking soda toothpaste—and wow, my teeth have never felt cleaner! 💡 Start with 2/3 cup baking soda + 1 tsp fine sea salt for remineralizing power. ✅ Add a few drops of peppermint extract or oil for that fresh, minty kick (skip oils for kids). 🔔 Mix in filtered water until you get your perfect paste texture. Store in a jar with a lid. ⚠️ Want to level up? Try a spoonful of coconut oil for extra antibacterial benefits and smoother texture. Seriously, this hack is easy, cheap, and customizable. Just remember: brush gently and always floss! #DIYToothpaste #BakingSodaHack #OralCare #Health #Wellness10Share

dstephens+Followyour all-day sipping habit is destroying teeth🦷Dental worker here🦷 Sipping sugary/acidic drinks (yes, even juice!) slowly erodes enamel, leading to cavities & root canals—even if you brush 2x daily! 🚨 Hot tips: 1. Chug, don’t sip (finish drinks fast!). 2. Wait 30 mins to brush after acid (weakens enamel!). 3. Rinse with water/fluoride mouthwash instead. 4. Floss like your smile depends on it (spoiler: it does). 5. Sparkling water? Still acidic. Straws? Not a fix. Genetics matter, but habits save teeth! 👉 What’s your go-to teeth-saving hack?
