Follow these tips to protect your teeth and gums:

After you use your inhaler, make sure to rinse your mouth with water. It’s even better if you can brush your teeth, so try to keep a toothbrush handy.

Hydrate often. Drinking water throughout the day can counteract the effects of dry mouth.

Skip the sugar. Cutting back on sugary foods and drinks lowers your chance of developing cavities. You might want to swap out juice and soda for fluoridated tap water.

Talk to Dr.Nechupadam Dental,Marine Drive. Let dentist know that you have asthma and provide details about the type of medication you use. He can also able to recommend strategies to improve your oral health.

Consider getting a different inhaler. Some types of asthma medication are associated with more cavities than others. Moreover, inhalers may even contain sugar to make the medicine taste sweeter. See if your doctor can help you find an inhaler that won’t put your teeth at risk.

Stay on top of your dental hygiene. Be vigilant about brushing and flossing.
