You are at Ayurveda >> Health Tips >> Teeth-GumsTeeth and gums troublesTeeth Healthy teeth are white, evenly spaced, level and clean. Unhealthy teeth are discolored, uneven, and are present in greater or less than the normal number. Teeth problems may occur due to poor diet or bad eating habits. Excessive tobacco, tea, coffee, sweet and sticky foods (sweets, chocolates, raisins) and very cold or hot food can lead to discoloration or decay. Teeth should be cleaned twice daily, in the morning and evening. Ancient Ayurvedic texts advise the use of small twigs from particular trees for this purpose. Today, Ayurvedic tooth powders made from the same herbs can be substituted. Rinsing and gargling after eating helps to remove food particles that may be stuck between teeth. Eating hard, crunchy fruits and vegetables (Apples, carrots) is good for the teeth. For discolored teeth, use some salt mixed with lime or lemon juice to brush the teeth. To ease toothache, apply a couple of drops of cinnamon or clove oil to the base of the aching tooth. Gums Healthy gums should be red, regular, compact and hard. Unhealthy gums are spongy, dark red or very pale and may bleed. You can help us!Today this one man operated website has 250 Vedic scriptures online.
