7 simple tips to keep your teeth and gums healthy:
1๏ธโฃBrush twice a day: Brush in the morning and before bedtime using fluoride toothpaste.
2๏ธโฃBrush for two minutes:Give your teeth enough time and use a soft-bristled toothbrush.
3๏ธโฃFloss daily: Clean between your teeth where a toothbrush cannot easily reach.
4๏ธโฃDrink enough water:Water helps wash away food particles and supports saliva production.
5๏ธโฃLimit sugary foods and drinks: Frequent sugar exposure increases the risk of tooth decay.
6๏ธโฃReplace your toothbrush regularly: Change it every 3โ4 months or sooner if the bristles become frayed.
7๏ธโฃVisit your dentist regularly:Dental check-ups help identify problems early, even when you have no pain.
Thank you Dr Nicolas for this an important reminder.
Oral health is an integral part of overall health and well-being. As advocates for better health, we must lead by example by practising the healthy habits we encourage others to adopt.
Prevention starts with us.
#OralHealth
Sometimes, we find ourselves sharing #HealthTips and encouraging others to adopt healthy habits that we don't always practise ourselves.
Recently, I visited a dental clinic for teeth scaling and cleaning, and it was a good reminder that taking care of our #oralhealth should be part of our everyday #wellness routine.
Oral health is more than just having a beautiful smile. It plays an important role in our overall health and well-being. Plaque and tartar can accumulate on our teeth, and when not properly managed, they can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
A few reminders for all of us:
๐ฆท Brush your teeth twice daily using fluoride toothpaste.
๐ฆท Floss daily to remove food particles and plaque between your teeth.
๐ฆท Limit sugary foods and drinks.
๐ฆท Don't wait until you experience pain or discomfort before visiting a dentist. Make regular dental check-ups part of your healthcare routine.
๐ฆท Consider professional dental cleaning as recommended by your dental professional.
Your oral health matters.

Brushing teeth it's a technique not mechanical
๐ฆท Brushing harder doesnโt mean cleaner teeth!
It can damage your teeth and gums.

HEALTH IN FOCUS | Women in Surgery in Rwanda ๐ท๐ผ
Surgery has traditionally been a field where women have been underrepresented. In Rwanda, however, the story is gradually changing. women are now pursuing specialties including pediatric surgery, orthopedics and plastic surgery,..
The journey has not always been easy. A 2018 study of surgical careers in Rwanda found that women faced challenges including gender assumptions, surgical working culture, family responsibilities and the demands of the profession. At the time, women occupied only one of 20 surgical residency positions studied.
But the picture is evolving.
Today, Rwanda has women contributing across different surgical specialties, while the country is also expanding specialist training and creating a larger pipeline of future surgeons through investments in health-professional education.
This is more than a story about numbers.
It is a story about women choosing surgery, breaking new ground, building expertise and creating a path for those coming after them.

"Using your teeth to open bottles, tear packages or crack hard objects may seem like a harmless shortcut. Yet these everyday habits can cause serious dental injuries, sometimes within seconds."
"Repeatedly biting hard objects can gradually weaken tooth structure. Small cracks may develop and worsen over time. In other cases, a single forceful bite can cause an immediate fracture. Depending on the severity, the damage may affect only a small part of the enamel or extend deeper into the tooth."
"Our teeth are designed to help us bite and chew food, not to replace the tools we use every day. The few seconds saved by using them incorrectly could result in weeks or months of dental treatment."
