How to improve your dental health

A beautiful smile is a gift endowed by nature that one must always cherish. But are you afraid that your smile will no longer draw the desired attention it once gained?
Here's how to improve your overall teeth health.
In case you lose a whole tooth:
Science has made it possible to re-fix your tooth, the only thing expected of you is to save it the proper way. You can hold it back at the same place till you get immediate medical help or you can preserve it by wrapping it in a plastic pouch. Another way to save it is by keeping it immersed in milk while you rush to your dentist.
To soothe your sore throat:
  • Gargle with 'organic apple cider vinegar' to soothe your sore throat. It is considered the best option for mouth's health due to its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
  • Salt water gargle is another age-old remedy for sore throat.
  • Taking Lozenges every 3-4 hours can be soothing as it keeps the mouth moist by producing saliva which further minimise the parched feeling. 

To keep the cavity-causing plaque off your teeth:

Saliva is nature's teeth-cleaning agent, it has all the necessary properties required to keep your teeth clean enough.
Hence the question arises, why to brush if saliva is enough?
  • Our mouth produces least amount of saliva at night, therefore, if something sticks to your teeth during dinner and you go off to sleep without brushing then it comes under germ attack. And if you make it a habit of not brushing your teeth at night due to laziness (known to be the famous reason world-wide) then with the passing of time, it will lead to yellowing of the teeth, stains and plaque build-up.
  • By the time you brush your teeth in the morning, the germ attack might already have had ruined your breath and teeth health
