The Dhaka Times Desk There are many changes in our eating habits during the month of Ramadan. Similarly, the time of tooth brushing also changes. So know how to take care of your teeth and mouth this Ramadan.
Since one has to fast for 12-14 hours during Ramadan, bad breath can also occur due to not brushing and drinking water for a long time or due to acidity or gastric. Again, bad breath or other problems can occur due to the food particles accumulated in the gap between the teeth. So the changing food schedule in Ramadan requires adequate care from Iftar to Sehri to keep the teeth and mouth healthy and beautiful.
Let's take a look at how to take care of teeth and mouth during Ramadan:
# Drink plenty of water from Iftar to Sehri.
# Must brush teeth after Iftar and Sehri. It is wise to use fluoride toothpaste.
# should regularly use dental floss to remove fine particles from between the teeth.
# should use mouthwash regularly. You can also use mouthwash like chlorhexidine, but make sure it is alcohol free.
# Tongue Scraper to clean tongue dirt.
# It is better to abstain from tea, cigarettes, drinking after Iftar.
# It is better not to eat sticky and sweet foods during iftar for the health of teeth and gums.
# should be remembered that all these foods are very harmful for teeth. If you eat these foods then brush immediately.
# Sometimes the gums may also bleed due to vitamin deficiency. At Iftari, you should eat a lot of vitamin-C rich foods such as lemon juice, grapefruit, oranges, mangoes, pineapples, malta, and salads such as carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce leaves, etc. should be mixed with lemon juice.
For good oral health, maintain oral hygiene not only during the month of Ramadan, but throughout the year. Brush regularly and maintain a balanced diet. Consult a dental surgeon at least 2 times a year.
