# Dental Care Tips for Patients

Personal dental care-Do's:
1. Brush every morning and after dinner.
2. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables and salads.
3. Try to know the proper brushing technique from your dentist.
4. Always use toothpaste along with the brush. Your brushing technique is far more important than the brand of toothpaste you use in ensuring prevention of caries and gum disease.
5. Visit your dentist every three month for your dental check up.
6. Please do not be apprehensive of dental treatment. Consult only qualified doctors about your treatment needs. Dental treatment does not affect your eyes.
Personal dental care-Don'ts:
1. It is not advisable to take any food after brushing at night.
2. Cut down on junk food (excessively sweetened snacks, carbonated beverages).
3. A wrong brushing technique can harm your gums.
4. Tooth powder does more harm than good. Do not use tooth powder or other similar cleaning material.
5. Do not neglect your dental disease. A minor ailment can flare out of proportions.
The influence of dental health on general physical and mental health >
Many of us neglect our dental health and take dental health for granted until it's too late. A sudden toothache cancels all your appointments for the day. A slow gnawing pain would irritate you thus affecting your mental health. This condition could even last for years. The teeth are an integral part of our smile. They make the smile with the lips in harmony. But that is half the story. The teeth act as crushers of food. Without them eating would not be a pleasure. A less than adequately chewed food leads to indigestion. Many general diseases have an influence on the gums. The best examples being high blood sugar or diabetes patients have an increased tendency of having gum disease as well. The best thing to do in such a condition would be to control the diabetes with proper medicines. A high blood pressure can lead to prolonged and persistent bleeding after tooth extraction. A control of blood pressure within amiable limits becomes all the more necessary.
