WHAT IS GOOD ORAL HYGIENE?

Good oral hygiene results in a mouth that looks and smells healthy. This means:

  • Your teeth are clean and free of debris

  • Gums are pink and do not hurt or bleed when you brush or floss

  • Bad breath is not a constant problem

If your gums do hurt or bleed while brushing or flossing, or you are experiencing persistent bad breath, see your dentist. Any of these conditions may indicate a problem.

Hygiene can be maintained by brushing, flossing, and undergoing regular dental checkups. It is undoubtedly an important part of dental health care.

HOW IS GOOD ORAL HYGIENE PRACTICED?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly. Good oral health is important to your overall well-being.

Daily preventive care, including proper brushing and flossing, will help stop problems before they develop and is much less painful, expensive, and worrisome than treating conditions that have been allowed to progress.

At Malpas Dental Surgery, we offer the best dental hygiene treatments. However, prevention is still better than cure, and it is recommended you make use of the best practices to maintain optimum dental hygiene. Here are some ways through which you can do so:

These include:

  • Brushing thoroughly twice a day and flossing daily
  • Eating a balanced diet and limiting snacks between meals
  • Using dental products that contain fluoride, including toothpaste
  • Rinsing with a fluoride mouth rinse if your dentist tells you to
  • Making sure that your children under 12 drink fluoridated water or take a fluoride supplement if they live in a non-fluoridated area.

Brushing your teeth is probably the most significant aspect of dental health care. It’s important to brush using the proper technique. Here are some tips on how to brush, and to floss properly.

  • Gently brush the outside, inside and chewing surface of each tooth using short back-and-forth strokes.

  • Tilt the brush at a 45° angle against the gumline and sweep or roll the brush away from the gumline.

  • Gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.

  • Use about 18″ of floss, leaving an inch or two to work with.

  • Gently follow the curves of your teeth.

  • Be sure to clean beneath the gumline, but avoid snapping the floss on the gums.
