As a 5-year old kid, I did not take my father’s advice on taking care of teeth. Now I badly did regret, but then I realised that it was not too late to start following my father’s advice. Here we go!
3 Best tips on teeth care:
- Brush your teeth twice a day(once awake and before sleep)
- Make sure to rinse your mouth with hot/warm water after every meal
- Increase iron intake in your diet
How to overcome toothache, during the growth of wisdom tooth?
Pain during the growth of wisdom tooth is a common problem, that occurs in early 20’s. Another important problem during the growth of wisdom tooth is bacteria formation, which may result in swelling of cheeks and chin, swollen gums and blood from the gums, which also makes food hard to swallow. I would like to share the meaasures I took to overcome this problem.
- Take half teaspoon of salt on your palm, and apply it in over the affected area. Then, use your finger to rub it all over gently, which releases a lot of saliva. Rub for 3-5 mins, and then rinse your mouth with hot water. Salt fights bacteria and eases your pain.
- Do gargling by adding 1 and a half, or 2 table spoons of salt, to half a glass of hot water.
- Make sure not to chew hard for a few days, until the pain eases.
Recently I had to go through all the above problems due to the growth of wisdom tooth. Then I just followed the above steps, which were suggested by my father, and he became my life-saviour.
