Dental Clinic Offers Tips to Stay on Top of Oral Hygiene During Ramadan
- Leading Abu Dhabi dentist urges residents to follow simple steps to maintain dental hygiene and prevent bad breath while fasting
- Practice brushing and flossing your teeth after your meals at iftar and suhoor.
- Use a tongue scraper or a cleaner to get rid of the white residue that coats the tongue.
- People who use dentures should clean them with denture cleaning tablets dissolved in water and then wear during fasting hours.
- Try to avoid sticky foods, such as chocolate, some types of cereals and cheese.
- Drink a lot of water before and after fasting. Other hydrating fluids can also help.
- Recommend rinsing of mouth with water or mouthwash. If not comfortable with this practice, try using miswak sticks - the soft bristles on either end of the twig can be used to clean the teeth.
- Avoid dehydrating things such as caffeine and excess salt and reduce intake of sugar.
- Have fruits and boiled veggies at the time of breaking fast. They have high fiber content which will help in re-mineralize your teeth naturally.
- Incorporate usage of fluoridated toothpastes (1350ppm) twice daily because fluoride gives strength to teeth and prevents from demineralization or cavity formation.
- Remember to see your dentist and hygienist regularly and keep up the various practices they have advised you to follow.
