Good dental health is a very important part of our hygiene.It is important that we keep our teeth and gums healthy.We should meet a dentist on a regular basis to maintain healthy teeth. We should also brush our teeth twice a day.In addition to this, we should floss daily to remove plaque from places where our toothbrush can't reach.For proper hygience of our teeth we should do the following:
1.Brush at least twice a day.The best time to brush teeth is after meals. Choose a toothbrush with a small head for better access to back teeth. Soft bristles are kinder on your gums.
2.Use fluoridated toothpaste.Fluoride helps to harden tooth enamel and reduces your risk of decay.
3.Brush thoroughly.Tooth brushing should take between two and three minutes.
4.Floss your teeth daily.Use a slow and gentle sawing motion.
6.Limit acidic drinks like soft drinks, cordials and fruit juices.Food acids soften tooth material and dissolve the minerals in tooth enamel, causing holes (cavities or caries). In severe cases, teeth may be eaten right down to the gum.
7.Limit sugary foods.Bacteria in dental plaque change sugars into acids.
Protect your teeth from injury.Wear a mouth guard or full-face helmet when playing sports.
8.Try to save a knocked out tooth.If possible, hold the tooth back in place while you seek immediate dental advice. If this is not possible, wrap the tooth in plastic or place it in milk and seek dental advice immediately.
9.Avoid using your teeth for anything other than chewing food.If you use them to crack nuts, remove bottle tops or rip open packaging, you risk chipping or even breaking your teeth.
