Teeth Health Tips
Dr. Jai Ashok Mahtani, Nigeria

Jai Ashok Mahtani Nigeria- Problems occur daily in our lives but we either dismiss
them or don’t even realize a health problem has manifested in our bodies.
Toothaches and plaque can cause not only severe pain but also serious health
problems down the line.
It is essential to pay attention to the health of our teeth! Teeth are our pride and
due to the chemical-filled eating habits of today, it is very easy for us to lose them
even in our prime age!
So in today’s dental fitness blog by Jai Mahtani Nigeria, we will talk about basic
dental health tips and what a good dental regime should consist of.

Use Fluoride Toothpaste
A Fluoride based toothpaste is the best option to get a good brushing session.
With kinds of toothpaste that contain fluoride, the teeth get cleaned up greater
than others as fluoride as an element is the most reactive of the periodic table. A
small amount of fluoride toothpaste can work wonders on your teeth.

Look for the Green Strip
Ever wondered what the colored stripes on the ends of a toothpaste tube mean?
Different strips on tubes of toothpaste indicate different meanings.

A green stripe indicates that all ingredients in the tube are natural or
nature-based.
A black stripe indicates that all ingredients of the toothpaste are man made or
pure chemicals
A blue stripe means the ingredients are both natural and medicinal.
A Red stripe means the toothpaste consists of natural as well as chemical
elements.

That’s why most cheap kinds of toothpaste are composed entirely of chemicals,
and hence have the black strips attached to their ends. It is recommended to get a
natural ingredient based toothpaste as they tend to be softer on your teeth, while
chemical-based kinds of toothpaste tend to be harsh.
So next time you are out for grocery shopping, be sure to check out whether your
toothpaste brand is full of chemicals or nature!

Go Natural
There are many natural alternatives to toothpaste and other teeth cleaning
products. The Indian Neem and many other plants that are the main ingredient in
organic toothpaste and cleaning products are beneficial for those that are sensitive
to chemicals. Natural ingredient based tooth care is the best option for people with
soft teeth and sensitive mouths.

Floss!
This is a practice that many people take lightly. Flossing is a very important aspect
of tooth care, so much so that doctors have a saying that goes something like: “If
you want your teeth to live with you till your deathbed, then only should you floss.
Otherwise, it is not necessary.”
Flossing helps in cleaning up plaque as well as minuscule particles stuck in
between your teeth, which greatly increases your teeth’s lifetime. Flossing twice a
day is the recommended amount, though flossing after every meal will do more
good than harm.

The Old Reliable
The age-old advice of brushing your teeth twice a day is still not being followed
upon by many people. Brushing twice a day is essential as bacteria start building
up on your teeth after every 12 hours. Therefore it is a must to brush two times a
day.
Moreover, a bacterium erodes our teeth faster while we are sleeping. So the
bacteria buildup in our teeth throughout the day act even more dangerously at
night if we don’t brush our teeth.
So please follow this age-old advice and brush your teeth twice a day!
