Oral Hygiene
Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping the mouth clean, and is considered to be the best means of prevention of cavities and other dental disorders. It also helps to prevent bad breath. Oral hygiene is necessary for all persons to maintain the health of their teeth and mouth. Healthy teeth have fewer cavities. They are clean and have minimal or no plaque deposits. Reface Dental clinic advises you to maintain oral hygiene to keep your teeth healthy.
Oral Hygiene can be maintained in two ways that is maintaining Personal Oral Hygiene and maintaining Professional Oral Hygiene.
Personal Oral Hygiene means taking care of teeth personally at home and maintaining Professional Oral Hygiene means doing your teeth x-rays and visiting your dentist Dr. Gaurav Dhaka on regular intervals.
Maintaining oral hygiene
- Brushing
- Flossing
- Inter Proximal Brushing
- Mouth Wash
- Gargle
Brushing
Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day. Once in a morning and second time at night after having dinner. Brush your teeth with soft, simple and flat head tooth brush. Brush gently not aggressively It’s important to focus on the gum line as plaque always migrates towards the gums. Use fluoride toothpaste also, it helps strengthen the tooth surface against decay.
The proper Brushing technique is to:
- Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums.
- Gently move the brush back and forth in short (tooth-wide) strokes.
- Brush the outer surfaces, the inner surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
- To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several up-and-down strokes.
Remember brush daily for 2 minutes and 2 times a day
Flossing
Flossing is an important oral hygiene habit. It cleans and dislodges food stuck between your teeth, which reduce the amount of bacteria and plaque in your mouth. Plaque is a sticky film that builds up on teeth and contributes to cavities and gum disease. There are generally two types of flossing techniques that is Thread Flossing and Water Flossing.
Thread flossing
- Break off about 18 to 24 inches of dental floss.
- Next, hold the floss taut with your thumbs and index fingers.
- Place the dental floss in between two teeth.
- As the floss reaches your gums, curve the floss at the base of the tooth to form a C shape.
- Repeat the steps as you move from tooth to tooth.
Water flossing
Water flossing is a way to clean between and around your teeth. A water flosser is a handheld device that sprays streams of water in steady pulses. The water, like traditional floss, removes food from between the teeth.
Inter proximal brushing
An interdental brush is a small brush specially designed to clean between your teeth, where a regular toothbrush does not reach. Daily use of an interdental brush in addition to regular tooth brushing, is an easy and efficient way to keep your gums and teeth fresh and healthy.
Mouth wash
Mouthwash, also called oral rinse, is a liquid product used to rinse your teeth, gums, and mouth. It usually contains an antiseptic to kill harmful bacteria that can live between your teeth and on your tongue. Some people use mouthwash to fight against bad breath, while others use it to try to prevent tooth decay.
How to Use Mouthwash
- Pour 20ml (4 teaspoon) of mouthwash into a cup.
- Empty the cup into your mouth. Don’t dilute the solution with water.
- Swish for a full 30 seconds.
- During rinsing, gargle in your mouth.
Spit out the solution in the sink.
Gargle
Gargling (same root as ‘gurgle’) is the act of bubbling liquid in the mouth. It is also the washing of your mouth and throat with a liquid, such as warm water, salt water or diluted mouth wash. In the process of gargling these particular types liquid that is kept in motion by breathing through it with a gurgling sound to rinse your teeth.
What is the proper way to gargle?
Gargle the water in the back of your throat for as long as you can handle. Then, swish the water around the mouth and teeth afterward. Spitting it out into a sink is recommended when you’re finished.
Why we should gargle our mouth?
Current guidance recommends that you should always rinse your mouth after flossing to flush out the loose bacteria and plaque that might be left in your mouth. A small 2018 study of dental students showed that flossing before you brush could help solve this problem.
Reface dental recommends you to maintain a proper oral hygiene by adopting these techniques of oral care on regular basis and also advice you to visit your dentist on regular intervals for healthy teeth.
