5 ways to take care of your Oral Health during Festivals
Festivals bring joy and sparkle on their arrival, but you just cannot afford to ignore your oral health. Most importantly, during the festive season, you should pamper your teeth and abstain from using them for activities they are not meant to perform. Some of the ways in which you can keep your teeth in their best shape during the festive season are as follows-
- Be careful with what you munch on
- With festivals around the corner, and people offering goodies and sweets, you have to be careful of what you’re eating.
- If you wear braces, then you have to be more cautious, since these sweets and candies can get stuck in your braces, and turn out to be really difficult to get rid of and will ultimately lead to cavities.
2. Be wise, brush twice
- To keep your smile bright, it’s essential to brush your teeth twice
- Brushing twice helps to keep bacteria away from your teeth and gums. This helps to keep your smile safe, during the festival season, and throughout the year too!
3. Don’t Treat Your Teeth Like Tools
- During festivals, we decorate our house, and while decorating, many a times we use our teeth as tools to peel a wire, untie knots etc, which harms our teeth.
- When you use your teeth as tools, you’re not only damaging your teeth, but also putting yourself in life threatening risks. That is why, care for your teeth, and they will be with you, sparkling all the way!
4. Drink lots of water after eating sweets
- It’s not feasible to brush always, but you can have a glass of water after munching on snacks and sweets. A glass of water after eating sweets helps wash away the remnants of food from your teeth thus protecting them from decay.
5. Visit your dentist
- A visit to a dentist after the festive season for a cleanup or a cavity check will incur minimum expenditure, but would save you from maximum expenditure in the future.
