No, today, I won’t start the post with the word ‘routine’. But routine is how we live our lives, don’t we? We get up, have or skip our breakfast, rush to work or work at home, spend our evenings watching TV or going out, cooking in or dining out. We have a routine in everything we do, even if we don’t acknowledge it. So, what is so bad about a dental care routine? Yeah, I know. You don’t like the fact that a certain routine is being imposed on you. Well, don’t follow this routine, but then don’t expect to keep all your teeth throughout your life. I won’t come and break them; you will do that yourself – slowly and quite painfully.

If you are still reading, the best way to take care of your teeth is by giving them due attention. Let me tell you what you need to do.

• Brush your teeth at least two times a day, preferably after meals. You must brush once before going to the bed.

• Floss your teeth once a day. This cleans your teeth thoroughly.
• Scrap your tongue gently once a day. Cleaning the teeth is not enough. However, the tongue should not be scraped too hard as it may open the pores for bacteria.
• Make fiber a part of every meal of yours. Go for vegetables and whole fruits. This helps clean your mouth and takes care of your overall health.
• Keep your mouth hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the. This prevents the formation of bacteria in the mouth.
• Rinse your mouth after you have consumed anything, be it a sip of milk or a biscuit.
• Visit your dentist once very six months. Visit sooner if you notice any sign of a dental problem.

Isn’t this routine simple?

Keep smiling!
