To use Nanjangud toothpowder effectively, follow either of these steps:
-
Using a finger (the past way): Start by wetting your finger with water. Apply toothpowder to your finger by dipping your wet finger into the toothpowder container or sprinkling a small amount of toothpowder onto your fingertip. Alternatively, you can pour a small amount of toothpowder onto a clean, dry palm or a small dish for easier access. This will help create a paste-like consistency when mixed with the toothpowder. Gently rub the toothpowder onto your teeth using your finger. Make sure to cover all tooth surfaces and focus on areas where plaque and stains tend to accumulate. Apply gentle pressure and continue rubbing for a couple of minutes to ensure thorough cleaning. Spit out the excess toothpowder and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water, once you're done cleaning with your finger. Additionally, rinse your finger under running water to remove any residue from the toothpowder. You can also use a damp cloth to wipe your finger clean. Brushing with a toothbrush can sometimes be too aggressive or rough, especially if you have sensitive gums. Using your finger allows for more control and a gentler touch, reducing the risk of irritation or damage to the gum tissue. When you use your finger to clean your teeth, you can apply gentle pressure and massage the gums simultaneously. This can help improve blood circulation, promote gum health, and potentially reduce the risk of gum problems. Your finger can be particularly beneficial for cleaning hard-to-reach spots or targeting areas where plaque tends to accumulate, such as along the gumline. Moreover, using your finger to clean your teeth allows you to feel the texture and condition of your teeth and gums more directly. This sensory feedback can help you identify any potential issues, such as rough or uneven surfaces, swollen gums, or areas of tenderness, which can then be addressed with appropriate oral care. However, it's important to note that using your finger alone may not provide the same level of plaque removal and overall cleaning as a toothbrush. A toothbrush's bristles are specifically designed to effectively remove plaque and debris from teeth and along the gumline. Therefore, while using your finger can offer certain benefits for the gums, it is still recommended to incorporate regular toothbrushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush, along with Nanjangud toothpowder.

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush (the present way): Moisten your soft-bristled toothbrush bristles with water. Gently dip the moistened toothbrush into the toothpowder. This will help the toothpowder adhere to the brush and create a paste-like consistency. Shake off the excess powder if necessary. Start brushing your teeth, covering all surfaces of your teeth—front, back, and chewing surfaces. Aim to spend at least two minutes brushing to ensure thorough cleaning. If needed, dip your toothbrush into the toothpowder again during brushing to replenish the powder. After brushing, spit out the excess toothpowder and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. Make sure to rinse out any remaining powder from your teeth and gums. Rinse your toothbrush under running water to remove any remaining toothpowder. Store it in an upright position to air dry between uses. Its important to keep in mind that brushing with a toothbrush can sometimes be too aggressive or rough, especially if you have sensitive gums. Using your finger allows for more control and a gentler touch, reducing the risk of irritation or damage to the gum tissue.

Pro Tips:
- The Nanjangud toothpowder does not foam, and it still cleans better than your previous toothpaste. Try it.
- Experiment with wetness: Some people prefer a drier toothpowder while others like to add a few drops of water or wet their toothbrush more. Find the consistency that works best for you.
- Be gentle: Toothpowder can be abrasive, so brush gently to avoid damaging your tooth enamel or gums. Gentle like a feather.
- In case of toothbrush usage: use only soft type and not medium or hard types.
- It's always a good idea to consult a good knowledgable dentist and not just your dentist- for personalised advice on oral care practices.
