Do this and never get cavities !

-



Do you always complain of having those cavities even after brushing your teeth daily!?

Why does this happen?
How can you prevent cavities?
What is the reason why you get those cavities even after brushing teeth twice a day?


To find out why ask these questions to yourself....

1. How do you brush your teeth?

Just sweeping that toothbrush inside your mouth with your favorite toothpaste isn’t enough! There is a correct method of brushing which you surely don’t know! Okay don’t frown! But brushing your pearly whites properly will save your time you otherwise had to spend in dental clinic!


Your dentist would suggest you the proper brushing method according to your age and gum health!



2. When was the last time you flossed?

For many of you who doesn’t know what flossing is, It is used to remove food and dental plaque from between teeth in areas a toothbrush is unable to reach.
I would advice you to use floss at least thrice a week to help those areas remain plaque-free.



3. What do you eat?


When you eat, you are not just feeding yourself. You are also feeding the micro organisms that live in your mouth. It’s a good idea to limit your quantities of food that have added sugar. Try eating sugary or starchy foods as a treat with meals, not something you snack away at all day.






Like I said earlier Proper Brushing Method is always your top most priority when it comes to preventing those cavities! Just like your work and family your teeth needs some attention too!

We often buy Ayurvedic or Herbal products because we think of them as being 'Chemical-free' or 'safe' Any product with its contents within the permissible limits is always safe hence it's actually approved by respective authorities such as FDA or IDA I had a lot of my patients asking me whether they can use ayurvedic toothpaste and if they are as effective as one of those conventional toothpastes in the market …Let’s discuss this in little detail. Ayurvedic toothpaste may have all its ayurvedic ingredients such as Neem, Lavang oil, Vaividang, Bakul, Honey, Amla, pomegranate, Triphala, pineapple, Papaya, menthol…etc. Well, the conventional toothpaste is made up of a few basic ingredients or 'chemicals' which provides them with consistency and textur...
