Dental Hygiene

[maveric99]

It is the practice of keeping the mouth clean and is a means of preventing dental caries, gingivitis, periodontal disease, bad breath, and other dental disorders. It needs a personal care.Without good teeth it not only becomes harder for you to eat but it also becomes harder for you to stay healthy. Bacteria will build up in your gums and cause gum diseases. Once you have gum disease it becomes very easy for the bacteria to enter your blood stream, causing other illnesses.

Five Significant Rules for Dental Health ;

1. BRUSH YOUR TEETH regularly and thoroughly. Brushing your teeth helps to control bacteria that are on top of the teeth. These bacteria help to break down food. They also are a major cause of bad breath. An excess of bacteria can harm your teeth and weaken them. When you brush you should use a good tooth brush as well as good toothpaste that will help to kill unnecessary bacteria and avoid infection.

2. FLOSS REGULARLY. There are some bacteria in plaque that get caught under the gums and can only be removed by flossing. If they are not removed they turn into tartar and acquire a gum disease which causes your gums to recede and weakens the formation of your teeth.

3. LIMIT YOUR SUGAR INTAKE :

And increase your intake of nutritious foods. While sugar is not bad, eating it in excess greatly weakens your teeth and feeds the bacteria which are on them. If sugar is left on your teeth it is very easy for it to break down the tooth and form cavities. Nutritious foods on the other hand, while you still do not want to leaven them on the teeth for too long, can help strengthen the teeth. They do not strengthen them right when they touch them but as the nutrients travel through your body and strengthen it they will also strengthen your teeth.

4. VISIT DENTIST regularly.

5. USE MOUTHWASH. Mouthwashes containing Listerine or chlorine dioxide are very helpful because they help to kill and maintain the bacteria in your mouth. It can help maintain good breath as well as help maintain strong teeth. Mouthwash cannot do all the work but if your are already brushing, flossing, visiting the dentist and eating well, mouthwash is the cherry on top that will make your dental health great.
