Tips to shine your teeth this Diwali
It is that time of the year again, the festive season is upon us!! Indian festivals are popular not just for their fanfare celebration and the mythology behind them but also for the wide variety of sweets we get to relish. The season is full of celebrations with family & friends, there is laughter, there are crackers and not to forget there are Sweets.
As much as we love snacking on food throughout Diwali and thereafter, there are few unwelcome visitors snacking on the food collected in our and the kid’s mouth, that if left untreated or not looked after, can cause a whole host of problems, many of which are already known.
Do we need to avoid sweets?
- We know it is not humanly possible to avoid sweet indulgences especially when it the time of festivities, So here is what you need to do this Diwali to keep your smile healthy and sparkling white:
- Brush twice a daily using proper brushing techniques & floss at least once a day
- Avoid having sweets before you go to bed as bacteria will cling to your teeth throughout the night and begin the process of decay.
- Rinse your mouth thoroughly after every sweet and acid drink to dilute the sugars.
- Rinse your mouth and brush your teeth after every meal to get rid of the food particles in the mouth & teeth.
- Eat a balanced diet and remember to include low-fat calcium-rich food. Visit your dentist regularly at least once in 6 months.
Every time you eat sweets, the bacteria start their work all over again and damage your teeth. Every acid attack of the bacteria. It is obvious no one can resist the mouth-watering delicacies prepared for the Diwali festival and so we suggest taking sufficient precautions to prevent tooth damage while you enjoy the Sweets this festival Season!
Here are summary of the few tips which may helpful during this festival of joy
- Brush twice a day, in the morning and in the night. And not for more than two minutes. There’s nothing simpler than that.
- Your tongue might be responsible for that extra horrendous smell from your mouth because it attracts a lot of bacteria. Scrap it all away with a tongue cleaner.
- Prevent yourself from overindulging this Diwali, especially with sweets and sugary snacks. It can get stuck between your teeth, causing bad breath.
- There’s a box of laddoos beside your bed but you’ve already brushed your teeth. What do you do? Ignore and sleep.
- Also, every 12 hours, wash your mouth with a mouthwash. It helps. Big time!
- Drink a lot of water to avoid the accumulation of bad bacteria in your mouth.
- Floss like a boss! Always remember that ‘you don’t have to floss your teeth…just the ones you want to keep.’
- Head to the dentist before it’s too late.
- Oh, replace your 6-month-year-old toothbrush. It’s long dead.
