The importance of oral hygiene for our health

Everyone likes to be in good health to improve their overall well-being. Taking care of your mouth and its condition are essential for our overall health. In humans, the mouth is the main part of digestion, speech and breathing; for this reason it is very important to take care of it and maintain proper hygiene . It is important to take care of our mouth during all stages of our life, since from six months onwards the first teeth appear and they must be kept healthy.

Enjoying a much more beautiful smile without fear can be achieved through a good oral care routine. Maintaining proper hygiene can help prevent health problems. For this reason, we must clean our teeth every day, as well as our tongue , gums , palate and the inside of our cheeks. To have good dental hygiene, the most important thing is brushing and toothpaste. There are several types of brushing techniques, but the most appropriate is the one that completely removes food remains, in an appropriate time and without causing any type of injury to the tissues.

Possible diseases

Poor hygiene or the absence of it can cause oral problems. If plaque is not removed correctly, different problems or diseases can occur:

• Tooth decay involves the progressive destruction of the tooth, which becomes demineralized and holes form. This condition can cause severe pain, especially when exposed to heat, cold, and sugar. Its appearance is influenced by bacterial plaque, diet, and tooth fragility, since there are people whose teeth are more prone to this problem.
• Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums caused by the accumulation of dental plaque, which causes them to swell and bleed. It can be cured without any after-effects because it only affects the gums.
• Periodontitis is a more severe form of gingivitis that is infectious in nature. It affects the ligaments and bone that support the teeth and often leads to tooth loss.
• Bleeding gums alert us to a problem in the supporting tissues of the tooth and may require treatment to cure it.
• Inflammation is a symptom to be aware of, but it can often be hidden due to smoking or the use of antiseptic mouthwashes.
• Halitosis or bad breath is the result of the metabolism of bacteria that produces sulfur compounds, as a result of poor hygiene.

Recommendations for taking care of your teeth

Taking proper care of your mouth is very important for the general health of your body and, especially, for your mouth. In this way, we will avoid dental operations or more aggressive treatments on our body. Teeth are white by nature, but the lack of care can cause them to turn yellow. Whitening treatments or dental bleaching may be the solution, but it is advisable to take care of your teeth with the least harmful treatments. Below, we indicate a series of recommendations for oral care:

• Brush your teeth after every meal, at least twice a day for two minutes. Make sure you have cleaned all your teeth properly. It is essential to brush thoroughly before going to sleep.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet , avoiding sugary foods and drinks, and promoting the consumption of foods rich in calcium and vitamins A and C. Foods such as fruits, vegetables and dairy products help keep your mouth healthy, as does chewing food properly.
• Sugar-free chewing gum can help clean your mouth by producing more saliva and helping to strengthen the immune system to defend against infections.
• To clean the spaces between your teeth, use an interproximal brush or dental floss . It is advisable to use one of the two, preferably at night, to remove food debris and clean all surfaces of the tooth.
• Brush your gums gently to avoid damaging them.
• Use a toothpaste with fluoride to prevent cavities. You can also use mouthwashes with fluoride.
• Clean your tongue properly by gently rubbing it forward using a toothbrush or tongue cleaner.
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol , which are important risk factors for a large number of pathologies.
• Change your toothbrush regularly every 3 months and have a dental visit every six months, as well as a dental cleaning .
• Many dentists recommend using mouthwash to complete our cleaning, in addition to recommending electric toothbrushes for their movements that can help us better clean bacterial plaque.
• Raise awareness among our children about the importance of oral hygiene, so that they can become accustomed to the routine of cleaning their mouth from a young age and help prevent diseases.
