Good Sleep _ Good Oral Health
                     Good Sleep & Good Oral Health 
It is a fact that our oral health has some connection with the overall health. Even it applies to your sleep. 
It is accepted that having a 7 to 8 hours good sleep energizes all the organs. 
So, let's get out of the distraction from everywhere, which affects our beauty & healthy sleep. Healthy 
sleep is always a benefit I heard it from the aged people. If you sleep disturbs, it even lead to a sleeping 
disorder or sleep apnea. I wish to adopt healthy habits in my routine because that will lead to a happy 
sleep. Quality sleep emphasizes the activity of the organs. Not only it improves your lifeline, reduces 
stress and anxiety. 
Okay, let's know why sleep is connected with your oral health. 
Brush your teeth daily 
Brushing your teeth is a common routine. But following it twice a day matters. When we go for sleep 
without brushing, the plaque formed with 300 plus bacteria will slowly affect your teeth. Later, it will 
create tooth sensitivity or cavities. More than 90% of people feel dental pain during nighttime. Your 
sleep gets affected, as we fail to brush our teeth. Whatever the work scheduled in your routine, never 
skip your dental care. 
 
Do not forget to floss your teeth 
Most of the people's logic is, brushing is ample to protect your teeth from dental problems. But the food 
stuck between the teeth enjoys eating up your teeth. So, to avoid the condition, do not forget to floss. 
Flossing is as important as brushing. It takes hardly 3 minutes. 
 
Skip eating unhealthy foods during nighttime 
Today food is big business in any country. Food industries have come out with varieties of dishes in 
different cuisine. We always tempted to eat more unhealthy food than healthy choices. Eating 
occasionally is fine to take up. Rather than that, people prefer eating junk whenever they feel hungry 
and satisfy their mood. So, eating more junk food will lead to several dental issues. Only your food 
choice will help you to extend the future of your dental health. Try to avoid eating outside and picking 
healthy food. 
 
 
Bruxism (Teeth grinding) 
Most of the human faces this issue. Right from the kid to the adult has this habit of grinding the teeth 
during nighttime. They need a dentist to help the issue. Normally, Bruxism will never create big harm, 
but the recurring action affects the strength of the teeth and makes it complicated. Besides, it is 
considered as the sleep-related movement disorder and loosens your teeth. Check with the dentist, and 
he can guide you with a mouthguard. 
 
Dry Mouth 
Dry mouth, sometimes we used to breathe using our mouth. In the middle of the night, we sometimes 
wakeup due to dry throat, and you run for water. Practically, the mouth is larger than the nose, so when 
the air flows through your mouth, bacteria also enter your mouth. The bacteria will affect not only your 
teeth but also your throat. So, stop breathing through the mouth, or consider visiting your dentist today 
to help yourself.
