The Dhaka Times Desk Rinsing your mouth with water immediately after brushing your teeth may not directly harm your teeth, but it also defeats the purpose of using toothpaste.
Brush your teeth regularly twice a day to maintain good oral health. After scrubbing the brush for five minutes, wash the face by discarding the foam. In this regard, dentists say, if you rinse your mouth with water immediately after brushing your teeth, there may be no direct damage to the teeth. Doctor Sara Alhammadi said, "After brushing the teeth, it is very difficult to leave the remaining part of the toothpaste in the mouth without washing the mouth. Nevertheless, we recommend practicing this approach.”
So what is the use of not washing your mouth immediately after brushing your teeth?
Dentists say that if you keep the toothpaste on your teeth for a long time, the efficiency of the toothpaste also increases. That is why it is forbidden to wash the face with water. The 'fluoride' in toothpaste helps prevent tooth decay. It also helps to prevent tooth sensitivity. This trick is very useful to control gum problems.
In this regard, the National Health Service of England says that there is actually no benefit if you wait a while after brushing your teeth to remove the excess foam in the mouth. After the excess foam is removed, the fluoride is dissolved in the remaining mouthwash with water. Due to which its performance also decreases. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

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
