The monsoon season in Kathmandu brings relief from heat — but also brings moisture, bacteria, and challenges for your dental health. At Bibekanand Dental in Chabahil, we’ve seen an increase in oral infections during this time. Here is how to protect your smile during the rainy season.
1. Watch for Fungal Infections
High humidity increases the risk of oral fungal infections, especially if you wear dentures or have weak immunity.
- Keep dentures and retainers clean and dry
- Rinse your mouth after every meal
- If you feel burning or notice white patches — visit us immediately
2. Avoid Sugary Rainy-Day Cravings
Comfort foods like tea, sweets, and fried snacks are tempting — but they increase acid and plaque formation.
- Brush after consuming sugary treats
- Drink more water to wash away residues
- Chew sugar-free gum to boost saliva
3. Maintain Brushing and Flossing Routine
Many people skip brushing during cold or wet mornings. Stay consistent!
- Brush twice daily, no matter the weather
- Use a soft-bristled brush to avoid enamel erosion
- Floss every night to prevent gum inflammation
4. Replace Your Toothbrush Regularly
A wet bathroom promotes bacterial growth on brushes. Change yours every 2–3 months or if bristles look worn.
5. Stay Hydrated and Eat Fresh
- Drink boiled or filtered water
- Eat crunchy fruits like apples for natural cleansing
- Avoid stale snacks that promote bacterial buildup
6. Book a Preventive Cleaning
Monsoon is a great time to get a dental checkup and cleaning:
- Remove tartar buildup from sticky foods
- Prevent seasonal sensitivity and infections
- Get personalized advice based on your habits
