Oral hygiene is very important for us throughout our lives, as the remedy for this is not only costs you an arm and a leg but quite painful as well. Even though most people know the importance of brushing their teeth twice a day, there are some other routines that need to be followed for having the best possible oral hygiene. A healthy oral routine does not just cover the teeth, but also includes the gums. Hence it is important to do more than just brush your teeth and floss. Moreover, you must also see your dentist on regular basis.
The first recommendation is that you take a supplement for Vitamin C and other key nutrients. Vitamin C helps keep the tissues healthy, and is also important for healthy gums. People who do not take enough Vitamin C will end up with gingivitis. The best way to get Vitamin C is through your diet, but make sure you do not do this by drinking too many sweet juices or citrus fruits, as these will damage your teeth.
Another supplement you should take is Coenzyme Q10, which is found naturally in the body and helps cell function. However, as some people have lower levels of this and some medications will affect the production of this enzyme, it is a good idea to take supplements for healthy gums. This supplement is now also available in toothpaste.
An herb called Horsetail, containing silica, helps the body to absorb minerals. This helps the body by allowing all the supplements you take to get absorbed into the body. Taking this with calcium will help your teeth to stay strong. You should use a mouthwash with Hydrogen Peroxide to decrease bacteria in your mouth. Use a 3% solution of mouthwash and mix it with equal parts of water before using.
You can try Ayurvedic therapies as well, for instance, oil pulling to help maintain oral hygiene. For this just take one tablespoon of sesame oil or sunflower oil (cold pressed) and put it into your mouth before eating or drinking anything when you get up up in the morning. Swirl it around in your mouth for fifteen minutes and spit it out when the oil gets watery. This helps in removing the toxins from the tissues and cleans your mouth and gums. Besides, it is also helpful in the whitening of your teeth.
It is recommended that visit your dentist half yearly and check with him/her before taking any supplements. Both brushing and flossing are considered to be very important parts of your oral hygiene routine, so make sure you spend good amount on floss and a high quality electric toothbrush which would be helpful in cleaning your teeth better than the normal ones. You can also use a dental pick which is particularly designed to clean between your teeth. If you have difficulty cleaning your teeth, you can use an oral irrigator that directs a stream of water to your teeth to get rid of food particles.
Make sure you call your dentist if you have swollen or red gums, bleeding from your gums, or if your gums start pulling away from your teeth. Any pus around your teeth, a bad taste in your mouth, or loose teeth are all reasons to go to a dentist immediately.
