🌿 1. Morning Oral Care Routine 🪥 Step 1: Gentle Brushing Use a soft-bristled toothbrush — never hard. Brush with Ayurvedic or herbal toothpaste containing Miswak, Babool, Clove, Neem, or Triphala (brands like Vicco Vajradanti, Dabur Meswak, Himalaya Complete Care are good). Avoid aggressive brushing — use small circular motions. 🪷 Step 2: Oil Pulling (Gandusha) Every morning on an empty stomach: Take 1 tbsp of cold-pressed sesame oil or coconut oil. Swish in your mouth for 10–15 minutes (do not gargle). Spit it out and rinse with warm water. Benefits: Reduces gum inflammation, strengthens roots, and removes toxins. 🌸 Step 3: Gum Massage (Dantadhavana) Mix: ¼ tsp Triphala churna or Trikatu powder Few drops of sesame or coconut oil Gently massage gums with your fingertip for 2–3 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. This improves gum circulation and strengthens tissues. 🌼 2. Midday / After Meals Rinse your mouth after every meal with lukewarm salt water (½ tsp salt in a cup of water). → Prevents bacterial growth and plaque. Avoid brushing immediately after acidic or citrus foods — wait at least 30 minutes. 🌙 3. Night Care Brush again gently before bed. Apply Dashan Sanjeevani lepa (Ayurvedic gum paste) or a mix of clove oil + sesame oil (1:5 ratio) on affected gum areas. Leave for 5–10 minutes before rinsing lightly. 🧘♀️ 4. Dietary & Lifestyle Support Eat foods rich in vitamin C, calcium, and antioxidants: Amla, guava, sesame seeds, milk, leafy greens, and turmeric. Avoid very hot/cold foods and beverages — they worsen sensitivity. Reduce sugar and acidic drinks (colas, citrus juices). 🩺 Optional Ayurvedic Remedies Triphala mouth rinse: Boil 1 tsp Triphala in 1 cup water → cool → rinse daily. Herbal powders for gums: Triphala churna + clove powder + camphor (a pinch) — use for gentle massage once a day.
