Natural Ways to Keep Teeth Strong



Natural Ways to Keep Teeth Strong
Just think for a moment that you are without teeth? If you don’t take care of your teeth you will not wait for much to be without teeth? Here I am listing 10 natural ways to protect your teeth.

1.        Drink plenty of water

Water is a solvent of life.Water is very helpful in washing the foods and bacteria left in and around the mouth. Water can neutralize excessive acidity that can damage tooth enamel and weaken the teeth. Just make it sure to rinse your mouth or gargle with water every after every meal so that you can get all of those leftover bits and pieces out of your mouth.

2.        Always floss

Flossing is also necessary other than brushing. This concept of just brushing should be cleared now. Brushing can’t clean the small gaps between the teeth, and it certainly can’t remove food debris and plaque from the sides of the backmost molars. Flossing can perform all of this action cleaning all the mouth area efficiently.

3.        Leave smoking

Everyone knows that Smoking is very dangerous for health. Its smoke contains many chemical compounds that can affect overall health as well as tooth health. Smoking can make your teeth look yellowish and it also gives you bad breath. Smoking also makes you a mouth breather and affects your saliva production, both of which can affect the teeth.

4.        Mind your diet

Teeth also need nutrition to grow and function properly. Make sure you take a well-balanced diet like meat, fruits, vegetables, and dairy will provide you with all of the nutrients that your teeth need, such as calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and phosphorus.

   5. Take care of acidic foods

Acidity increases the danger of tooth decay and cavity formation because it breaks down the tooth enamel, exposing the dentin and allowing bacteria to penetrate the tooth surface. You don’t have to completely avoid acidic foods, but knowing which foods are acidic will help you take control of your portions.

6.        Select the best dental products

Using the right toothbrush and toothpaste can make a huge difference on your dental health. Always select good quality toothbrush and paste otherwise it will be your own teeth that will hurt in the long run.

7.        Don’t bite or chew non-food objects

Nail biting, chewing on pens can damage your tooth enamel, particularly the biting surfaces of the teeth, and result in tooth wear and enamel loss.

8.        Brush in a right way

Take your time whenever you brush. When brushing, move your toothbrush in all angles, not just 45 degrees. Brush in a circular, up and down, side by side, and diagonal motions. This will help you cover all the areas and sweep away all of the food particles and bacteria on the tooth surface. Don’t forget to brush your tongue.

9.        Check out symptoms

Bleeding gums, excessive tooth sensitivity, and even discolored teeth can have underlying causes. If something unusual or new has happened to your teeth or gums, let your dentist know right away.
