Dental Hygiene: The Cornerstone of a Healthy Smile
Dental hygiene refers to the daily practices you perform to maintain the cleanliness of your mouth and teeth. This includes brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash to remove plaque and food particles that can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease. Plaque is a sticky film that harbors bacteria, and if left unchecked, it can harden into tartar (calculus), which can only be removed by a dental professional. Regular dental hygiene practices help to:
- Prevent Cavities: Brushing and flossing remove plaque and food particles that can lead to tooth decay.
- Maintain Healthy Gums: Proper oral hygiene helps prevent gum inflammation (gingivitis) and more serious gum disease (periodontitis).
- Fresh Breath: Brushing and flossing help remove food particles and bacteria that cause bad breath.
- Overall Health: Studies have shown a link between good oral health and overall well-being.
