Taking care of the teeth during Ramadan is essential as there are changes in diet and eating habits, which can have an impact on oral health. Here are some tips for maintaining good dental hygiene during Ramadan:
1. Brush your teeth twice a day, after Suhoor and Iftar, using a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
2. Floss or use interdental brushes to clean between your teeth, especially after Iftar, when food particles may become trapped.
3. Instead of snacking on sugary or sticky foods during Iftar, opt for fresh fruits and vegetables that can help clean your teeth.
4. Avoid consuming sugary and carbonated drinks, especially during Iftar, which can lead to tooth decay.
5. Rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash after eating or drinking to help remove any food particles and reduce the risk of tooth decay.
6. Visit your dentist before Ramadan to get your teeth cleaned and checked for any signs of decay or gum disease.
By following these tips, you can maintain good dental hygiene and keep your teeth healthy during Ramadan.
