17 Sep, 2016 12:41 PM
Good oral hygiene is essential in keeping the many dental problems such as bone loss, gum diseases, heart diseases and strokes at bay. It is also important that you visit your dentist regularly so that you can have a thorough dental check up. Other than that, here are dental hygiene steps you can take to observe great oral hygiene.
• Always brush your teeth properly at least twice a day to keep them clean and bacteria free.
• Always floss to remove food particles and other detrimental substances that brushing regularly cannot. Flossing allows you to reach deep between your teeth where the toothbrush bristles cannot reach or even mouthwash cannot wash .
• Limit the use of sodas, coffee and alcohol to avoid tooth decay and gum disease due to their high level of phosphorous.
• Consume Calcium and other Vitamins that are good for the body so that you can have healthy gums and teeth.
• If you are having tooth and jaw pain make an appointment as soon as possible. Your dentist needs to diagnose the underlying cause and correct it before it turns into a greater problem.
• 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. These can contribute to bad breath (halitosis) and negatively affect your dental health.
• And always make sure visit your dentist at least twice a year to have a full hygiene treatment performed.
