How To Take Care Of Oral Hygiene?

Brushing your teeth every day and night does not ensure that you are providing your mouth with the care it needs

Say "Ahhh!" It might reveal more than you think.

Brushing your teeth every day and night does not ensure that you are providing your mouth with the care it needs. You need to have a rigorous oral hygiene routine that goes beyond just brushing your teeth. Just ensuring that you've got the proper oral hygiene products and tools in your bathroom cupboard can take your oral health to another level. Here are our top tips for maintaining an ideal oral hygiene routine.

Brush Brush Brush (but not too hard)

When you brush, don't rush. Take about two minutes to try to do a thorough job. Avoid brushing your teeth right after eating, particularly if you had something acidic, such as grapefruit or soda.

Floss

Despite adverts for toothbrushes claiming that a toothbrush is all you need, nothing cleans your teeth and gums better than floss or interdental brushes. They are specially designed so that you can tend to those nooks and crannies. It is important to use floss or an interdental brush in between your teeth to stop bad breath, cavity, and gum disease.

Use a mouthwash 

Like flossing, not many are keen on using mouthwash. It does quite more than just offer you a fresh breath. It adds more minerals to your teeth. It reduces the amount of acid in your mouth, which prevents your teeth from acid damage. When you swish it around in your mouth, it completely cleans your teeth, tongue, and oral cavity.

Stay hydrated

Water forms the major component of your saliva which fights bacteria. It also helps to neutralize the acid that causes tooth decay and washes away excess food particles and bacteria.

Furthermore, water keeps the soft tissues of your mouth moist and prevents bad breath.

Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables

Ready-to-eat foods are convenient, but perhaps not so much when it comes to your teeth. Clean, crunchy food provides enough dietary fiber to keep your oral health on point.

Practicing good care from infancy to adulthood can help an individual keep their teeth and gums healthy. Brushing and flossing daily, maintaining a healthy diet, and getting frequent dental checkups can help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.
