Maintaining daily routines, following proper brushing techniques, and incorporating Ayurvedic solutions can ensure long-term dental wellness
Delhi: Problem-free oral health is essential for overall well-being. On this Dentist’s Day, we bring you expert-recommended oral care tips to keep your smile healthy and bright. Dr. Sonia Datta, a renowned public health dentistry expert with over 27 years of experience, emphasizes that following a proper oral care routine helps maintain strong teeth while reducing the risk of long-term complications. Poor dental hygiene has even been linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes, making it crucial to adopt effective daily habits.
Dr. Sonia Datta recommends a structured daily oral care routine for optimal dental health:
•Brushing Twice a Day – Using a clinically tested toothpaste like Dabur Red Paste helps remove plaque and bacteria while strengthening enamel.
•Using an Antibacterial Mouthwash – A mouthwash with Ayurvedic ingredients like pudina and clove helps combat oral bacteria and supports fresh breath.
•Staying Hydrated – Drinking water throughout the day washes away food particles and supports saliva production, which naturally protects teeth.
Brushing is the foundation of good oral hygiene, but doing it incorrectly can leave plaque behind or even damage enamel. Dentists suggest: Using a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent gum irritation; Brushing for at least two minutes, covering all tooth surfaces, including the tongue; Replacing the toothbrush every 2-3 months for optimal effectiveness.
A balanced diet directly impacts dental health. Some foods strengthen teeth, while others contribute to decay: Calcium-rich foods like dairy, leafy greens, and almonds support strong teeth. Crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots help clean teeth naturally. On the other hand, Sugary snacks, sticky candies, and carbonated drinks fuel harmful bacteria that cause cavities. Acidic foods, such as citrus fruits and soda, can weaken enamel.
Many dentists acknowledge the benefits of Ayurvedic ingredients in maintaining oral hygiene. Natural components like: Clove is known for its antibacterial and pain-relieving properties, it supports gum health; Pudina helps keep breath fresh and promotes oral hygiene; Ginger’s anti-inflammatory benefits soothe gums and enhance overall oral health.
Dabur Red Paste, enriched with these time-tested Ayurvedic ingredients, has also received the Indian Dental Association (IDA) Seal of Acceptance, further establishing its credibility as a trusted oral care solution.
This Dentist’s Day, take a pledge to prioritize your oral health with expert-backed care. By maintaining daily routines, following proper brushing techniques, and incorporating Ayurvedic solutions like Dabur Red Paste, you can ensure long-term dental wellness.
