Introduction
Healthy teeth are not just about a beautiful smile — they play an important role in your overall health. In Nepal, many people visit the dentist only when there is pain or serious dental trouble. However, regular dental care can prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and expensive treatments in the future.
At Asian Dental, we believe prevention is always better than cure. Here are some simple and effective tips to help you and your family maintain healthy teeth and gums.
1. Brush Properly Twice a Day
Brushing once a day is not enough. You should brush your teeth twice a day — once in the morning and again before sleeping.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush gently in circular motions for about two minutes. Make sure to clean your tongue as well since it holds bacteria that can cause bad breath.
Tip: Replace your toothbrush every three months or sooner if the bristles are worn out.
2. Do Not Forget to Floss
Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque between your teeth where the toothbrush cannot reach. Regular flossing prevents cavities and gum infections.
If using regular floss is difficult, you can try interdental brushes, which are available in most pharmacies across Nepal.
3. Eat a Tooth-Friendly Diet
What you eat has a direct effect on your dental health. Limit sugary snacks and soft drinks, as they are the main cause of tooth decay.
Instead, eat more fruits, dairy products, and green vegetables. Foods like apples, guava, milk, and curd help keep your teeth strong and clean.
Tip: Chewing sugar-free gum after meals can help maintain a clean mouth by increasing saliva flow.
4. Visit the Dentist Regularly
Many people in Nepal visit the dentist only when they feel pain, but regular dental check-ups every six months are very important.
Early visits help detect problems before they become serious. At Asian Dental, our experienced dentists provide regular check-ups, cleaning, fillings, and other treatments to help you maintain a healthy and confident smile.
5. Avoid Tobacco and Paan
Tobacco, paan, and supari not only stain your teeth but also cause bad breath, gum disease, and even oral cancer. Avoiding these habits can greatly improve your dental and overall health.
If you need help quitting, visit Asian Dental for oral cancer screening and professional advice.
