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.
Dental hygiene also known as oral hygiene is the process by which preventative dental care is provided to avoid dental emergencies at the care of dental hygiene is the in-home dental care regimen you perform.
Taking measures to keep your mouth clean is essential for excellent dental health .A daily oral hygiene regimen is needed to remove the plaque the causes tooth decay and gum disease. And good oral hygiene not only helps prevent cavities, but is necessary to bottle bad breath. After all we go to great lengths to look and smell pretty.
The main purpose of dental hygiene is to prevent the build-up of plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth. Bacterial plaque accumulated on teeth because of poor oral hygiene is the causative factor of the major dental problems.2
Poor oral hygiene allows the accumulation of acid producing bacteria on the surface of the teeth. The effect of poor oral hygiene is the loss of one or more teeth. You should not wait until a tooth is lost, just then to understand the importance of oral hygiene and preventive care.
It is important to learn how to maintain good dental hygiene from early childhood. Parents should teach their children the proper use of oral hygiene products. Good oral hygiene should be a joined effort involving you and your dentist. Not all of us have the same needs.
