The Dhaka Times Desk Several studies have shown that dental health is linked to diseases like diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. So how to take care of the teeth?
Do you think that not brushing your teeth regularly is only damaging your teeth? But the idea is completely wrong. Several studies have shown that dental health is linked to diabetes, heart disease and even cancer.
Indian men are most affected by head and neck cancer. And these cancers are more or less associated with tobacco. Millions of people are diagnosed with oral cancer every year. And the main cause of this cancer is the habit of eating tobacco and neglecting and neglecting the teeth.
Surprisingly, only 45 percent of Indians brush their teeth at least twice a day, according to a study by the Oral Health Observatory. Whereas in countries like China, Colombia, Italy and Japan, 78 to 83 percent of people regularly brush their teeth twice a day. The study also found that Indians tend to consume more sweets than other countries. Because of that, Indians suffer more tooth loss. Problems like ulcers, deficiency of vitamin B in the body, iron deficiency occur from the tooth cavity.
How to take care of teeth?
Brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes. After waking up in the morning and 30 minutes after eating at night. A soft brush should be used. Brushes need to be changed after 3 months. Brush up and down, not just side to side. Gargle well with water after eating any food. The gums should be massaged with fingers while flossing. It is best to avoid very sweet or sticky foods or drinks. Drink more water. Fruits like lemon and guava should be eaten more. If one has too sharp teeth in the mouth, it should be fixed by brushing.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
