Simple yet Important Teeth Care Tips



Teeth care is not only important from health point of view but it imparts a completely new appeal to your personality. Good teeth and gums are a sign of good health. Therefore, here are a few simple yet importantteeth care tips for everyone to follow every day.
Firstly and most importantly in teeth care it is essential to brush your teeth twice a day. It is a sin in teeth careto sleep without brushing your teeth because you are actually opening a door for the bacteria and germs to attack your teeth in very possible way. Brush your tongue and teeth well and if you are not familiar with the right way of doing tooth brush then ask your dentist to demonstrate it to you.
Brush at least for five minutes and move gently. Teeth care does not mean at all that you deal with your teeth with a hard toothbrush or strongly brush your teeth, rather, remain steady and gentle when cleaning your teeth.
There are many parts of the teeth where good teeth care cannot take place by just doing toothbrush. You need to use the dental floss or the inter-dental brush to clean the areas between the teeth. Therefore, do this at least once after every two days if you are lazy to do it every day.
Tongue scraper is an excellent tool for teeth care. It restricts plaque on your teeth and protects you from a smelly oral cavity.
Making a right choice about foods that you eat is essential for teeth care. Eating fresh carrots and other vegetables is ideal for your teeth while, snacking all the time is very bad. Moreover, try to eat different dairy products like cheese because due to their alkaline nature they neutralize the affect of acidity created by other food items which could otherwise cause problems for teeth care.
Most importantly, visit your dentist after every six months and do not be lazy about it at all. Being an educated person, educate yourself about the latest information on teeth care and discuss different stuff regarding teeth care with your doctor. If there is any problem with your ongoing teeth care tactics then correct it as soon as possible.
Therefore, just by following these few simple steps of teeth care, enjoy a long-lasting and beautiful smile with perfect teeth and love yourself too.

Acquainting kids with Ramadan

This holy and sacred month of Ramadan affects the life of Muslims all across the world.  Ramadan is full of blessings, hence every Muslim try to take benefit of it in order to adorn their after life with good deeds. In today’s busy life, Ramadan for kids stands as a pleasant reminder of Muslim traditions. Importance of Ramadan for kids is not only based on religious reasons but also because it brings a pleasant change in their social life. It gives them a chance to meet up and eat together with their friends and extended family following the Muslim mode of life.
It is very necessary for the parents to acquaint their kids with the real essence of blessed Ramadan and to teach the importance of Ramadan for kids. InRamadan for kids whole charm lies in waking up in the middle of night to eat sehri and then a large variety of delicious dishes to eat in the evening for aftari. The responsibility falls on elders to make kids aware of the purpose of fasting. Ramadan for kids means whole family sitting together and eating a large variety of dishes. Kids have a very inquisitive mind which is filled with several questions regarding fasting. Parents must address those questions first then make them observe fast. It is not correct to enforce fasting on them but prepare them psychologically so that when they reach to age of 12, which according to Islam is the right age of fasting, they realize the importance of Ramadan and observe fasting willfully not forcefully.
Fasting gives them a feeling of being grown up. They proudly share with their friends and cousins that how many fasts they observed in the month of Ramadan. Ramadan for kids is also like a competition with their siblings or friends. Making their favorite dishes for aftari serves as a token of encouragement and appraisal as well. In the month of Ramadan, inviting their friends for aftari is also an endeavor that would encourage them. In Ramadan, parents or grand parents should keep telling small religious stories to kids so that they get to know teachings of Islam. Reciting Quran-e-Kareem and going to mosque for Tarawee with their elders also teach them about Islamic teachings.
Finally Eid-ul-Fitr is the biggest reward of all for Muslims. Kids also wait for Eid and observe fast in order to get more eidi and new clothes. Kids get attracted very easily. It is the responsibility of elders to tell them about Islamic teachings through reward system as it is the exactly same way which Allah has chosen to make us choose the right path. Parents can make Ramadan for kids’ pleasantly spiritual experience.
