THE IMPORTANCE OF ORAL HEALTH

Dental hygiene isn’t just about teeth, good oral health can also help prevent a number of diseases.

Recent research indicates that your teeth and gums can be an indicator of your general health and help to flag potential problems. With this in mind, it’s easy to see why regular dental checks and oral hygiene are important.

About 44 per cent of adults have an annual dental check, but more than 40 per cent of Australian households earning less than $30,000 a year avoid or delay a visit to the dentist because of cost, according to the 2015 Oral health and dental care in Australia report issued by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

5 steps for good oral health

1. Brush twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste and clean in between your teeth with floss or small brushes daily
2. Drink fluoridated tap water – a 2014 National Health and Medical Research Council report showed a 26 to 44 per cent decrease in tooth decay in people who drank fluoridated water
3. Wear a mouthguard when playing sport as dental injuries can cause pain and loss of teeth
4. Don’t smoke as it contributes to gum disease and oral cancer
5. Minimise sugar in your diet. Sugars help bacteria turn into acids that cause decay. If you eat or drink something sugary or acidic, rinse your mouth with water afterwards
