Basic Dental Care

Are you embarrassed to smile in public? Is your social life suffering because of bad breath and lack of confidence? Find out how you can restore your lost smile and regain your social dignity by following some basic measures for all your dental problems.

Why Dental Care?

A bright and confident smile can work wonders to enhance your personal and social life. What can be better than a heartfelt smile to impress the person next to you and charm him or her with a fresh breath? However, not all of us are blessed with a naturally healthy and beautiful set of teeth and gums or fresh breath. Some basic dental care practices can, therefore, help you in securing the health of your teeth and gums forever, and smile your way to success and glory.
No matter how busy or hectic our lifestyle may be, we still begin our day with the age-old practice of brushing our teeth. The importance of this practice is related not only to cleanliness and basic hygiene factors but also to prevent oral problems turning into serious diseases. Thus, this practice comes to us as naturally as the necessity of having food, drinking water or taking a bath.

Aspects of Basic Dental Care

To start with, the primary aspects of your basic dental care program must include regular brushing and flossing. A mouth healthy diet and visits to your dentist at regular intervals can further guarantee your oral health.

Brushing
1.Make it a point to brush your teeth at least twice a day; once in the morning and once before you go to bed.
2.It is even better if you can brush after every meal or snack.
3.Make sure that you change your tooth brush every three to four months.
4.Always use brushes with soft bristles so that you do not harm your gums while brushing.
5.An ideal brushing process should consist of two to three minutes.
6.Use proper brushing technique while cleaning your teeth by placing the tooth brush against the gum line at 45 degree and rotating the brush at a slow circular motion.
7.Ensure that the bristles of your tooth brush reach in between the teeth spaces but do not hurt the gums.
8.Use a toothpaste that contains fluoride.
9.While brushing your teeth, clean your tongue in order to prevent spreading of bacteria and retain fresh breath.
10.Rinse your mouth thoroughly once brushing is complete and every time, after you have had food.

Flossing
1.Floss regularly to remove plaque and food particles stuck between your teeth.
2.Be gentle while flossing to avoid gum injury.
3.Ensure that the floss forms the shape of a ‘C’ while you are scraping the teeth.
4.Once an area of the floss has been used for a tooth or two, take the used floss around your fingers and use a cleaner area of the floss for the next tooth.

Diet
1.Eat lots of fresh fruits, green vegetables and drink plenty of water to maintain a balanced diet and cater to the essential nutrients required for your body. This would help you in having a naturally strong and healthy set of teeth and gums.
2.Avoid food with high sugar content as sugar aggravates teeth damage, plaque formation and the development of bacteria.
3.Use sugar-free gum, milk, yogurt to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
4.Avoid having food or snacks immediately before you go to sleep. If you do not brush your teeth before going to bed, the dried up food particles may lead to cavity and tooth decay.
5.Ensure that your mouth is always hydrated by the saliva in order to prevent bad breath. This may happen due to skipped meals, rigorous dieting routine or excessive alcohol consumption. Frequent consumption of vegetables with strong smell such as garlic or onion may also cause breath odor.

Visit your Dentist Regularly
1.A regular visit to your dentist at an interval of six months can keep you free of worries regarding your basic oral health. This, in turn, will help you save a lot of expenditure which might occur due to teeth and gum problems if you neglect them at the initial stages.
2.If you do not have much complain about your oral health, you may extend the period of your visit to the dentist to even once in a year. However, whether it is six months or a year, a periodical check up is essential.
3.Avoid experimenting with your dental health and consult a dentist immediately in case you suffer from swollen or bleeding gums, continuous teeth pain, excessive bad breath or any such extreme situation. Remember, without immediate action, any of these might result into severe health disorders.

Some Useful Tips
1.Avoid consuming excessive amount of tobacco and quit smoking in order to prevent stains on your teeth. Remember, nothing seems as elegant as white and shining teeth. Smoking and chewing tobacco may also cause bad breath and gum ulcers which might even lead to Cancer.
2.Use anti-bacterial mouth rinses or mouth fresheners to retain that fresh feeling all through the day.
3.Gum and teeth infections may lead to serious consequences including loss of teeth. Thus, educate yourself about the basic health and hygiene factors of your dental care with the help of your dentist and follow them regularly.

Conclusion

A little bit of care and consciousness can help you flaunt a graceful smile and a refreshing confidence. Small and simple measures, taken at the right time can, thus, show their impact on not only a rewarding social life but also on your everlasting oral health.
