Like we give utmost importance to our physical health, it is essential to equal importance to our dental health too. Maintaining good oral health ensures that all dental diseases are kept at bay, and our overall health is not compromised.  

Today we live under the shadow of COVID-19, so it becomes difficult to give importance to our oral health. In this article, let us discuss some of the important aspects of keeping our oral health in good shape amidst the pandemic. So let us get started. 

Brush your teeth regularly.

No matter what the situation is, one of the biggest and most basic steps towards maintaining your oral health in good condition is brushing your teeth twice every day without fail. Post brushing, it is recommended to floss the teeth. This will make sure that the food residues stuck in the teeth are removed. Otherwise, the plaque present in between the teeth can turn into tartar and can cause some serious gum problems.  

Avoid sugar and junk foods. 

Post pandemic, it has become a habit for many people to eat and drink all those food items that they couldn’t eat as a result of lock-down and lack of accessibility of food items.
