While many of us are rightfully concerned about our blood pressure and diabetes welfare, we often tend to be careless about our dental hygiene. Cross your heart and ask - how many of you bother to brush your teeth before sleep? Very few will be proud to answer in the affirmative, we are sure.
However, oral hygiene should inarguably be one of the most important aspects of daily living. After all, our mouth is the gateway to all kinds of germs and bacteria entering our system, especially our digestive and respiratory tracts. In fact, even coronavirus enters our system through our mouth (apart from nose of course). Hence, it is imperative that we care for our teeth and gums.
Apart from this, our mouth needs all our attention even otherwise. Teeth decay, cavities, gum diseases like gingivitis, sensitive teeth, among others can make our life hell, if not cared for. One of the basic ways to care for our teeth is to choose a good toothpaste. Opting for toothpastes that include Ayurvedic herbs is a good way to go.
Thankfully, there are many options on online platforms like Amazon. In case, you want to know more, here's a list.
