DANTADHAVAN

Dantadhavan means cleaning the teeth. In olden days, this was done by using small sticks of NEEM plant as a brush. Nowadays we use various toothbrushes available in the market. Whenever we eat food or drink any liquid, food particles get collected on and around the teeth. If they are not cleaned, they start decaying after some time and finally the tooth starts decaying. This eventually leads to digestive system disorders.

To prevent this we MUST clean our teeth after every meal. In nowadays practice, it sometimes becomes difficult to clean teeth, perticularly after business lunches. But we can definitely do gargals with plain water, which is available anywhere. This can remove the food particles, that are stuck to the teeth. Along with this we can just rub the teeth with our finger. This cleans the teeth and gives them agentle massage as well.

Also we should clean the teeth after getting up in the morning and at bed time.
