Maintaining good oral hygiene

Oral hygiene refers to the practice of keeping your teeth and mouth clean. This prevents different dental problems, bad breath included. By maintaining good oral hygiene, you can avert the build up of plaque and tartar (calculus) – the two main culprits that lead to tooth decay (caries) and gum diseases.​

Maintaining good oral hygiene results in the right physiological conditions needed to heal and regenerate oral tissues.  Above all, it can also delay or prevent dental erosion. Remember, the loss of tooth structure caused by chemical dissolution is irreversible .​

Daily Regime

Daily brushing and flossing along with using a mouth rinse can go a long way in keeping your dental health up to the mark. The use of antimicrobial mouth rinses works in reducing plaque and bacterial activity. This can lead to gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and other gum diseases. The use of fluoride mouth rinses maybe advised in some patients for reducing and preventing tooth decay.​
