Thread: Teeth Care

This one is for you Tooth Fairy, need some valuable and good advise on some tips on caring for your teeth, so that when we reach old age, (which everyone will, so don't deny it) we wont face any problems like some people do. Tips such as best toothpaste to use, checkups etc!

Ya doc, it would be usefull for everyone in general. Nowadays more and more people are getting tooth problems even at a young age, please make a post on this.

Irrespective of what tooth paste/brush you are using...its important that you brush at least twice a day.In the morning & before you go to sleep...

yeh that's true, but sometimes it is important to use a brush according to your teeth, i mean some people need softer toothbrushes and some need firmer ones!

flossing is also recommended. Sometimes the brush/paste cannot
remove all the particles. Also try a mouthwash.

Go for regular dentist checkups. At least twice a year.

exactly... and this thread need not be limited to jus that, it can include mouth diseases and ways to prevent it etc etc

Apart from regular brushing, mouthwashing, gargles etc, visit a dentist atleast once in 2 years & your teeth will be perfect.

I'm soon to visit a dentist here, but hopefully when or if Tooth Fairy reads this thread then will ask him some questions and things which the dentist said, and whether they are suggesting the right things to me!

I actually would like to get my teeth dead straightened and leveled up perfectly, they are fine now, but would like them to be perfect!

Well, suits girls...guys I think don't worry too much about the straightening thing.
Besides, I find dentures to be quite expensive.

hmmmm well best is brush ur teeth twice min. n evertime u have food....ie. breakfast, lunch n dinner.....i guess....!!!

atleast my teeth ve been fine at the moment.....

OK. When Mr. Tooth Fairy is required, he has chosen to disappear.

I brush my teeth 2 times in a day :tooth:

We need Dr. Toothfairy here.

I heard that unhealthy teeth can lead to heart problems.

apparantly some bacteria that is in tooth disease
can travel to your heart and infect the lining of the
heart leading to heart failure.

Too much of brushing doesn't help... as it erodes the enamel of ur teeth... Brushing twice is perfect as dentists say...

normally I brush only once in the morning... at night I brush only when I have non-veg for dinner... and I'm happy with the health of my teeth!

Even I heard that...

i dunno abotu tht....but for me it usually happens to be twice or thrice......

Thrice sona hai kya...chamkate raho...

as maddy said, normally once, but twice only when i have chicken in dinner

eeesh common.....!!!!

twice brushed for me, morning and after dinner!

My teeth are also good now (touch wood), but i know if i dont take proper care now then i may suffer when i get older!

But no sign of the doc, has he even seen this thread?

i have a tip here:

for the inner parts of tooth which generally doesnt gets cleaned with a toothbrush .... once in a while u can try this :

take a lemon , cut it in two halves, take some sarso ka tel and salt and make a paste kind of thing ... dip the lemon in it ... and rubb the lemon on ur inner parts of teeth ... this really works - kind of a "dadima's nuskha" ... though i got to know about it from one of my friends

I know about it... and do it time to time whenever I realize on a morning that toothpaste tube is empty!

Won't a toothbrush be able to reach the back of your
teeth better than half a lemon?
