No Compromise With Dental Hygiene
February 7, 2009
The changing life style and food habits are taking their toll on teeth. You will find every other person having some kind of dental troubles. There are ways out to cure such dental problems. However, I believe in prevention is better than cure.
Yes, if we become aware and put some effort for dental hygiene then we can stop the problem from beginning. More significantly, it is necessary to inculcate good habits of dental hygiene among the young children by being a role model.
Even if your baby’s teeth are not grown, don’t forget to wipe off his gums with a soft cloth after every feeding. If you make this a habit for your kid now then, he would carry it off till the end. As he grows up, he would imitate and learn from you. So, practice the same dental hygiene regime for yourself as well. Every adult is needed to brush his or her teeth at least twice a day. Once in the morning after getting up and once at night just before going to hit the bed!
Brushing is not enough; you have to be careful that the tooth brush you are using has soft bristles. A wide range of tooth brushes are available in the market with different price tags. I would suggest you not to choose your tooth brush on the basis of price. There is no guarantee that the costliest brush works the best. Ask your dentist, which one you should go for.
Many times, we encounter with frequent queries- why we face problems like tooth decay, cavities or gum problems irrespective of brushing our tooth with fluoride contained toothpaste.
It is true that fluoride is necessary to keep your tooth enamel healthy and strong. However, the food habit also matters. If you eat foods regularly which are high in starch and sugar then no toothpaste can help you. There is no problem in eating such food, but our busy scheduled life does not allow us to rinse the mouth after every meal. And the problem lies here. So why can’t we avoid such kind of food.
Today’s mantra is eat healthy and stay healthy.
