Remember that the mind is a limited machine. With the exhausting life in the city, the mind can easily get tired and lose memory. Aside from taking care of the brain, practicing good oral care will help dramatically prevent memory loss. Likewise, other teeth problems that would require tooth extraction or an implant crown will be avoided. So, how do you take care of your teeth? Here’s what you can do:
- Keep your gums healthy by brushing and flossing regularly. Don’t just give in to exhaustion. Make sure that before you drop in your bed at night you have brushed your teeth already. Rinsing your mouth with a mouthwash can also help keep bacteria growth at bay
- Limit sweet food intake. Keep in mind that even a little amount of sucrose can already hype up bacteria in the teeth. So, make sure to avoid sugary foods and as much as possible don’t snack on sweets, because it is often during snacks that people fail to brush their teeth.
- Increase Vitamin C consumption. Vitamin C rich foods such as lemons, oranges and other citrus fruits help keep the gum healthy. With adequate amount of Vitamin C in the body, gum inflammation will be prevented
- Don’t smoke and drink too much alcohol and coffee as they stain the teeth and erode tooth enamel.
- If you have diabetes, follow treatment dutifully as uncontrolled diabetes could cause gum infections.
Follow these tips and you can dramatically improve not only your oral health but your mental health as well. Take note that even the simple task to brushing and going to your dentist regularly can powerfully change how you think and remember.
