Is vinegar good for brushing teeth?
While vinegar has some antibacterial properties, it is also highly acidic and can damage tooth enamel. The acid in vinegar can wear away the protective layer of enamel, making teeth more susceptible to cavities and other damage. Additionally, vinegar can irritate the gums and cause sensitivity.
Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste is the best way to brush teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. Fluoride helps to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities, while the soft bristles of the toothbrush help to remove plaque and bacteria without damaging the teeth and gums.
