Why you shouldn't sleep without brushing?

You probably already know that the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends brushing those pearly whites twice a day. You also probably know that brushing your teeth is one of the easiest ways to avoid scaring off your date.
But brushing is important for reasons beyond fresh breath. Skip a session, and you're on your way to encouraging the growth of bacterial buildup in the form of plaque, which can lead to cavities and gum diease.

"In the middle of the day, [run your tongue] across your teeth right around the gum line. You’ll find something sticky or fuzzy," "That's plaque."

Brushing, thankfully, "disrupt[s] that bacteria so it doesn't stay in place, because if left in place, it starts to attack your teeth. Plus, the longer that plaque sits in one place, the more likely it is to become tartar, "that hard, yellow, rough material you sometimes feel in between your teeth" that can cause inflammation and bleeding in the gums, Leave that untreated for too long, and you could risk losing teeth.

While there's not exactly a precise timeline of when plaque becomes risky, "you can start the process of a cavity by not brushing once, absolutely,"  especially if your occasional forgetfulness is more frequent than you'd like to admit. (We won't tell.)

However, doing a so-so job brushing can be just as bad, . That twice-a-day routine is no joke, preferably with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush. 

Each brushing session should last about two minutes and cover all surfaces of the teeth, not just the parts we see when we smile, . The ADA also recommends flossing once a day and seeing a dentist regularly to take care of the rest (like that tartar, which only a dentist can truly clean).

Also, no cheating: Gum, mints and mouthwash are no brushing replacements. All three can give your mouth a fresher feel,  but "brushing and flossing are the only ways to effectively, physically remove the plaque."

Bad Breath : Causes and remedies

What You Can Do About Bad Breath

Now please don't say that you don't have bad breath, if you are reading this article I am dead sure that you have bad breadth. Naah! You need not to worry,i am not going to tell anyone and  anyways 

Bad Breath

You're not alone. A very high percentage of Indians suffer from bad breath, or halitosis. Bad breath can get in the way of your social life. It can make you self-conscious and embarrassed, but before we find out how to stop it we need to know what actually causes bad breadth, it can be either dental problem, indigestion or some other  medical problem but whatever it is. it is causing you harm socially as well as physically too.

1. Dental problem

 Your bad breadth may be an indication that you have an underlying dental disease.It can be a cavity

Dental problem

where food gets stuck or some dental infection. ( I seriously don't know how someone can sleep with so much food decaying in cavities like that!) In that case you need to consult Dentist for complete oral examination and treatment.( Click the link to book appointment)

2. Indigestion

 Eat light and sleep tight

  Changing eating habits now a days is the most common cause of Indigestion. Eating dinner late night, high protein diets (meat, milk and other animal products) which are relatively difficult to digest. I always say 

Remedy :

1. Eat light dinner at night.

2. Eat dinner as early as possible 

3 Take walk after dinner.

3. Other medical problems:

 Bad breath may indicate other medical problems that you might be suffering Like type 2 diabetes, sinus problem or you may be taking some kind of medication.

  Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to freshen your breath.

1. Brush and floss more frequently.

One of the prime causes of bad breath is plaque, the sticky build-up on teeth that harbors bacteria. Food left between teeth adds to the problem. All of us should brush at least twice a day and floss daily. If you're worried about your breath, brush and floss a little more often.  But don't overdo it. Brushing too aggressively can erode enamel, making your teeth more vulnerable to decay.

2. Scrape your tongue.

The coating that normally forms on the tongue can harbor foul-smelling bacteria. To eliminate them, gently brush your tongue with your toothbrush. Some people find that toothbrushes are too big to comfortably reach the back of the tongue. In that case, try a tongue scraper.  

3. Avoid foods that sour your breath.

Onions and garlic are the prime offenders. "Unfortunately, brushing after you eat onions or garlic doesn't help,""The volatile substances they contain make their way into your blood stream and travel to your lungs, where you breathe them out." The only way to avoid the problem is to avoid eating onions and garlic, especially before social or work occasions when you're concerned about your breath.

and then there are foods that remove bad breath too.

4. Kick the habit.

Bad breath is just one of many reasons not to smoke. Smoking damages gum tissue and stains teeth. It also increases your risk of oral cancer. Over-the-counter nicotine patches can help tame the urge to smoke. If you need a little help, make an appointment at Grace dental clinic about prescription medications or smoking cessation programs that can help you give up tobacco for good.

5. Rinse your mouth out.

In addition to freshening your breath, anti-bacterial mouthwashes add extra 

protection by reducing plaque-causing bacteria. After eating, swishing your mouth with plain water also helps freshen your breath by eliminating food particles.

6. Skip after-dinner mints and chew gum instead.

Sugary candies promote the growth of bacteria in your mouth and add to bad breath problems. Instead, chew sugarless gum. "Gum stimulates saliva, which is the mouth’s natural defense mechanism against plaque acids which cause tooth decay and bad breath,"
