The month of Ramadan is a special period that requires attention to health issues, along with a spiritual atmosphere and fasting. During this period, prolonged hunger and thirst can affect oral and dental health.
As Özel Ova Diş Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, which provides service in Kartal Atalar, Istanbul, we have compiled for you the things to be careful about oral and dental care during Ramadan. Here are the tips for protecting oral and dental health during Ramadan!
Tips for Maintaining Oral and Dental Health During Ramadan
- Brushing Teeth After Iftar and Sahur
The most important step in maintaining oral hygiene during Ramadan is to brush your teeth regularly after iftar and sahur. Brushing your teeth after meals helps remove food residue and prevent plaque formation. Brushing your teeth should last at least 2 minutes and should be done gently, without damaging your gums.
- Flossing
The spaces between your teeth that your toothbrush can’t reach are a suitable environment for bacteria to accumulate. Therefore, flossing after iftar and sahur is very important. Flossing prevents cavities by cleaning food residues between your teeth. - Support with Mouthwash
Mouthwashes are an important step in completing oral hygiene after brushing and flossing. Antiseptic mouthwashes in particular cleanse the mouth of bacteria and provide fresh breath. However, since mouthwashes containing alcohol can increase dry mouth, alcohol-free options should be preferred. - Plenty of Water Consumption
Drinking plenty of water between Iftar and Sahur prevents dry mouth and increases saliva secretion. Saliva is a natural defense mechanism that cleans bacteria in the mouth. Therefore, water consumption is of great importance for oral health. - Avoid Sugary and Acidic Foods
Sugary and acidic foods consumed during Ramadan, especially after iftar, can cause tooth decay. Limiting the consumption of such foods and brushing your teeth afterwards is important to maintain dental health. - Consume Cheese and Dairy Products at Sahur
Consuming calcium-rich foods such as cheese, yogurt, and milk during sahur helps strengthen teeth. In addition, these foods reduce the risk of cavities by maintaining the acid balance in the mouth.
- Beware of Dry Mouth
Prolonged thirst can cause dry mouth. Dry mouth creates a suitable environment for bacteria to multiply. Therefore, drinking plenty of water and chewing sugar-free gum between Iftar and Sahur prevents dry mouth by increasing saliva secretion. - Regular Dentist Checkups
Regular dentist check-ups should not be neglected during Ramadan. Especially those who experience dental health problems while fasting should consult a specialist dentist without wasting time.
