10 Tips for Dental Care & Oral Hygiene


Brushing Brush your teeth at least twice a day or after meals. It can guarantee to aid in eliminating bad bacteria that resides on your oral cavity that causes halitosis or bad breath.


Appropriate Toothbrush Select an appropriate toothbrush for your mouth care. Dentists generally recommend us to use soft bristled tooth brush to prevent gums from bleeding through heavy brushing. Choose a toothbrush with a tongue cleaner to maximize its cleaning properties and functions.


Suitable Toothpaste Choose suitable toothpaste that caters to your oral needs. Fluoride-rich toothpaste is helpful to strengthen the tooth enamel making it more resistant to possible tooth decay.


Mouthwash Mouthwash can add a positive effect and habit in your daily oral care. It helps fights cavities and prevents you from having a periodontal disease. Gargling with mouthwash can help you achieve fresher breath.


Flossing Floss your teeth after brushing. Flossing is a great way to clean areas in between teeth that brushing alone cannot reach. In addition, using a dental floss can help remove food debris that is stuck in your teeth.


Effective Diet Modify your lifestyle through effective diet. Too much intake of chocolates and sweets contributes to a speedy decline of your tooth enamel.


Avoid Smoking Avoid and quit smoking. Smoking cigarettes can bring various effects to your body and dental hygiene. Smoking can cause serious tooth decays, bad breath, tooth discoloration and even oral cancer.


Avoid Too Hot or Cold Eatables As much as possible, prevent eating foods that are too cold or hot to eat. Teeth are highly sensitive to extreme temperature.
