TEETH TIPS |
| A
pea-sized quantity of paste will do; tap the brush so that the
paste sinks into the brush and is available for brushing all the
teeth. Rinse Your mouth after every meal. |
|
Brushing movement should be up and down. Horizontal brushing
merely wears away teeth. Brush the inner sides of the teeth too,
not just the side facing outside. |
|
Brush your teeth at least twice a day before going to bed and on
waking up. Use toothbrushes labeled 'soft' unless specified
other wise by the dentist. Overhaul toothbrushes every three
months. |
|
Use any toothpaste, preferably of the herbal kind. The best
mouth wash is salt water-two tablespoons of salt in half a
glass water, unless you have hypertension. |
|
Do not keep snacking in between meals. This keeps food particles
constantly available for the bacteria to chew on and cause tooth
decay. Moreover, the saliva remains acidic for 30 minutes after
food is taken in. |
