Fasting and Dentistry

One of the most important organs that takes period at rest is tooth.

It must follow the periodic check up of the teeth for prevention and maintainence of your teeth like teeth cleaning which removed calculus and polishing, placement of fissure sealants that is present on the grinding surfaces of teeth without worrying about your fasting because there are many devices for saliva suction in dental clinics. These suction materials ensure to empty the liquids in the mouth completely and prevent passing it into the esophagus and stomach. If the patient suffered from very severe pain, treatment should be taken immediately without delay even though it was during Ramadan. Therefore, it is not necessary to tolerate severe pain and use analgesics which are harmful to the organs if you take in a large amount. The pain will not be relieved unless we do not treat the cause in the dental clinic. After taking treatment, the patient can get complete rest.

It is important to avoid food ingestion especially sweets between the period of breakfast and sohor and to clean the teeth by tooth brush and toothpaste or at least wash the mouth and teeth by water after ingestion.
