Celebrate Diwali with a Big Smile!!

Hi Everyone, Happy Diwali!!!!!

This is the beginning of the festive season and I thought of sharing a few dental tips so as to ensure you fully enjoy this time of the year without having to worry on your dental health and compromise on what you eat and drink.

• Mithais and chocolates are an integral part of our celebrations. Enjoy your sweets, but just ensure to brush twice a day, in the morning and at bedtime. Make it a habit to floss as well.
• Use fluoridated toothpaste as they prevent bacteria buildup in your mouth and help prevent cavities.
• During the day, if you cannot brush, have a glass of water after eating sweets. Having a glass of water helps wash away the sticky sweets. Not to forget, drinking water even helps you control weight.
• You may chew upon Sugar free gums after eating sweets as the sugar free gum helps in cleaning the mouth and increase saliva flow. Increased saliva flow increases our ability to fight bacteria and avoid cavities.
• Avoid fizzy drinks; they are anyways bad for our health.
• Avoid sweets just before bedtime.
• Take special care of your kids as they tend to skip brushing during festivities. Remind them to brush and floss at morning and bedtime. Ask them to rinse after eating sweets. Get them a tooth brush of their favorite character to motivate them to brush.

Toothache is the worst thing to happen during Diwali time and especially when others are savoring on Diwali sweets. So, get a Pre Diwali check up done and as a festive offer, all dental consultations are free till Diwali at our clinic. So why wait?

Have a fun filled, prosperous and safe Diwali!!!!!
