3. Do not skip your oralhygiene oralcare routine

Be firm and focused to not skip your oral care routine.
Invest your time sufficiently to
• brush twice a day
• flossyourteeth after meals
• interdentalbrush if we have recommended you
• waterflosser before sleep
• gargle your mouth with #water after meal
We understand that the holidays are for fun and enjoyment with family and friends. We love to go #lazy during holidays. While the cumbusome #oralcare routine to maintain #oralhygiene is time consuming. Do not give yourself a chance to say #oops, I missed it. A skip on oral care routine forces you too spend more money in sorting future teeth issues.
Be wise to invest your time and efforts. #investinyourteeth #investinyourself #investinselfgrooming

6. Know the functions of your teeth

“Human has a creative mind”. This is a boon as well as curse. Wonder, why do we say so?
A human mind finds different creative ways to maximize the use of their teeth. Of which some may be appropriate while the rest are inappropriate.
God has gifted us a set of teeth to:
• Eat food
• Grind food
• Speak
• Smileallday
• Aid in rinsing mouth
Do not use your teeth to
• open the caps of the bottles
• chip nails
• open gifts
• open snack packets
• grind tobacco
• de-staple a paper or bag
• cut threads while stitching
• grind teeth
These habits damage your teeth permanently. Well, this can be corrected by Cosmetic smile makeover or Full mouth rehabilitation. Think about the amount you will have to spend to get such extensive long lasting dental treatments! Be wise investing your money!

7. Chew Cinnamon based gums

We enjoy chewing gums during holidays. Looks cool! But, do we know which gum to chew? We get carried away with the fascinating advertisements displayed on television.
Amongst the various flavours available to chew, select Cinnamon based gums. Cinnamon has an essential oil named “Cinnamon Aldehyde”, the spicy flavour of which stimulates your salivary glands to secrete more saliva, thus
• cleaning your mouth
• eliminates bad smell from your mouth
• avoids dry mouth condition
• prevents teeth decay
• eliminates the stagnation of unnecessary and harmful bacteria
• removes food particles stuck in between teeth
• maintains fresh breath for a long time

8. Drink clear or light coloured beverages and foods

Clear or light coloured beverages and foods are likely to stain your teeth with its colour. Teeth have a film called “pellicle” attached to it which has a tendency to easily catch up the stain from your beverages and foods. Though, pellicle gets removed while brushing. Is it practical to keep brushing teeth after every meal? Coloured beverages can stain our teeth. While, clear or light coloured beverages and foods will maintain our teeth white.
We can be wise in selecting the beverage and food we eat.

We advise to carry a complete #oralcare kit during holidays to avoid inadvertent circumstances. Oral care kit should include:
• soft or extra soft toothbrush
• remineralising toothpaste
• dental waxed floss
• tongue cleaner
• water flosser
• interdental toothbrush if recommended
• medicated mouthwash if recommended
Brush your teeth with soft or extra soft toothbrush. Remineralising toothpastes prevents teeth decay and sensitivity. Floss aids in removal of food particles stuck in between your teeth which fail to get removed while teeth brushing. Unclean tongue can lead to various bacterial or fungal infections in mouth. Water flosser helps in cleaning mouth with the help of waterjet and aids in eliminating foul smell in your mouth. Interdental brushes are recommended to patients who have gaps in between their teeth where dental floss does not work or when the patient is wearing braces on their teeth. Medicated mouthwash to be used only when recommended to keep mouth infection free as it is anti-septic.
