11 Aug, 2016 9:48 AM
It is important to have good oral hygiene. Having poor oral hygiene can lead to a variety of dental and medical problems in the future such as gum disease, infection, bone loss, heart disease, strokes etc. Regular check ups and cleanings can prevent these problems as well as provide you with good oral hygiene.
By following these oral hygiene tips, you can maintain healthy gums and teeth.
• Ensure that you properly brush your teeth including the gum, tongue, inside and outside your teeth surface.
• Floss properly after brushing your teeth to help remove food particles and other detrimental substances that brushing regularly cannot.
• Limit the intake of sodas, coffee and alcohol. They have phosphorous that may help deplete the body’s level of calcium, causing tooth decaying.
• Consume calcium and other vitamins that are good for the body and help strengthen teeth and gums.
• Clean the surface of your tongue daily. By using a professional tongue cleaner you remove countless bacteria that otherwise live, particularly on the rougher top surface of your tongue.
• And always visit your dentist at least twice a year to have a full hygiene treatment performed.
