Oral hygiene at home Preventive Techniques
Dental care, when effectively performed, ensures fresh breath, glittering smile along with your healthy teeth and gum. Your oral hygiene regimen at home includes:
Daily Brushing
Brushing is an essential part of dental hygiene care practices. Our oral hygienist recommends you brush your teeth in the correct manner, twice a day. It prevents the accumulation of food particles between your teeth and removes dental plaque as much as possible. Based on the condition of your mouth, we sometimes also recommend electric toothbrush.
Every Day Flossing
Although you are correctly brushing your teeth, still, there are some areas inside your mouth where you won’t be able to reach properly. Regular flossing of teeth removes dental plaques that are hiding in between your teeth. We recommend using a fresh section of floss for each tooth, at least once a day to prevent the accumulation of plaque formed between your teeth.
Mouthwash
We recommend antibacterial mouthwash to remove the bacteria that results in the accumulation of plaque. It also prevents gum disease called gingivitis.
Diet
We believe that your healthy eating habits impact your oral health and overall health. We recommend diet as an essential part of your dental hygiene regimen. Our emphasis is to make you eat nutritional food to protect your oral health and avoid excessive sugars and carbohydrate that promotes tooth decay.
FAQ’s
Why is oral hygiene important?
Your mouth is the entry point to your digestive system, so a build-up of bad bacteria from poor oral hygiene can have trickle-down effects to the rest of your body. Practising good oral hygiene habits is more than just having straight, white teeth, and research shows that your oral health can be a strong indicator of your general health.
Regularly brushing and flossing will help prevent a build-up of harmful bacteria, reducing bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease. You should also aim to visit your dentist every six months for a proper check-up and clean as we can help identify and address any other underlying holistic issues.
How can you maintain good oral hygiene?
- Brush for two minutes twice a day

How can a dentist visit help with your oral hygiene?
During a check-up, your dentist will examine any hard-to-reach places, conduct x-rays to check for cavities between your teeth, perform a thorough clean and give you a fluoride treatment.
It’s important to remember that failing to visit your dentist regularly can impact more than just your teeth. An unhealthy mouth with problems like gum disease may increase your chances of other issues and conditions. With this in mind, visiting your dentist will cement not only healthy oral hygiene habits that will keep you smiling, but also prevent bad breath, tooth decay, gum disease and other dental-related problems.
