2. WELCOME TO OUR DENTAL CLINIC

3. WHY IS DENTAL HYGIENE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR HEALTH? Your oral health is the window to your overall health. ● Poor dental hygiene can lead to inflamed and infected gums and eventually tooth decay and loss. ● Without proper dental hygiene, you are at risk of developing several oral and health conditions such ● as heart diseases, pregnancy complications, pneumonia, etc.

4. DENTAL HYGIENE TIPS FOR A HEALTHY MOUTH 1. Brush Twice Daily For Two Minutes Brushing your teeth is the most important prevention method for cavities, plaque, and gingivitis. ● Fluoride toothpaste is recommended for adults as well as for babies and toddlers by the ● American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, and the American Dental Association. If you’re using a manual toothbrush, tilt it at a 45-degree angle and brush gently to avoid damage ● to your enamel. Brush in soft circles inside, outside, top, bottom, and in between your teeth to remove bacteria ● and plaque. Also, brush your tongue to remove the harmful bacteria that can live there and cause bad breath. ●

5. DENTAL HYGIENE TIPS FOR A HEALTH MOUTH 2. Floss Daily Flossing is ideal to clean the ‘hard to reach’ places in your mouth, like in-between your teeth and ● up under your gum line. If you’re new to flossing or not regular with it, then you might notice that your gums may bleed. ● The advantage of flossing first is that it allows the fluoride in your toothpaste to get in between ● your teeth better and keeps the enamel strong and free from decay.

6. DENTAL HYGIENE TIPS FOR A HEALTH MOUTH 3. Use a Mouthwash Rinsing your mouth with an effective mouthwash can help eliminate harmful germs, plaque, and ● prevent gum disease. There are two types of mouthwashes: Cosmetic Mouthwash: This helps control bad breath but only temporarily. See a dentist for a ● permanent solution to bad breath. Therapeutic mouthwash: This controls a variety of dental issues, such as bad breath, infection, ● decay, plaque, and gingivitis. This has a more lasting effect, compared to cosmetic mouthwash.

7. DENTAL HYGIENE TIPS FOR A HEALTH MOUTH 4. Chew Sugar-free Gum To keep your teeth clean all day, a good idea is to chew sugar-free gum with the ADA Seal of ● Acceptance for around 20 minutes, preferably after a meal. Chewing sugar-free gum stimulates the secretion of more saliva that helps rinse away bacteria ● from your mouth. However, be cautious, as excessive gum chewing can strain and damage your teeth and jaw. ● Those with alignment issues can be prone to muscular tension and pain.

8. DENTAL HYGIENE TIPS FOR A HEALTHY MOUTH 5. Get Regular Professional Dental Cleaning Done Professional dental cleanup is a step up from your home dental hygiene regimen. There will still ● be areas in your mouth that are not effectively cleaned with brushing and flossing. Regular checkups can lead to early diagnosis and treatment for any dental issue. ● It’s also an opportunity for you to discuss and clear any queries about your dental hygiene and any ● other underlying condition.
