Dental care has been given very
little to no importance when it comes to maintaining the personal hygiene. It
is important to note that, like other hygiene practices, oral hygiene too is
equally important. Not adhering to proper oral hygiene would result in one
suffering from dental carries, excruciating tooth ache or say in worst cases, undergoing
extraction.
It is therefore necessary to
follow proper oral care.
Practicing the Ayurvedic regimen helps in preventing Gingivitis, Bad Breath, Sensitivity of tooth, Dental Carries and receding of gums.
Below are few tips in maintaining a healthy oral health.
1. Gargling thoroughly after chewing or consuming anything.
2. Brushing teeth twice a day.
