The best remedy is always prevention, to prevent oral problems we must be very careful about our oral hygiene.
Many oral health problems are often the price to pay for not properly cleaning your teeth and gums, performing these hygiene measures, is not complicated or time-consuming.
Dental brushing and the use of dental floss have the function of removing plaque and preventing its growth and consequently prevent the appearance of caries.
Several factors can influence proper oral hygiene: The type of brush - the brush head should be small with soft, round bristles. The teeth should be brushed at least 2 times a day (ideally 3 times) for 2 minutes. Brushing teeth should be done methodically by cleaning the gingival margins on both sides with a circular "shaking" action and masticatory surfaces.
The hygiene of the spaces between the teeth should be done not only to remove food remains, but also because it is necessary to disorganize the bacterial colonies in these areas contributing to the prevention of cavities, gingivitis, periodontitis and halitosis. For this, use dental floss or interdental brushes of appropriate size to each case as advised by your dentist.
The technique for using the floss is to wrap a generous portion of dental floss around the middle fingers and, with the help of the index finger and thumb, gently make "sawdust" movements, insert into the contact point of the tooth, then move the rope up and against each surface of the teeth involved. In the end, you should slightly insert the floss into the gum space without causing discomfort to avoid traumatizing the gum.
In addition, you should brush the tongue because the adherent germs on the back of the tongue can contribute to both the spread of bacteria as for halitosis (bad breath).
The tongue should be reddish in color without the presence of a whitish or even yellowish layer.
Having a healthy mouth is very important to have a healthy and balanced body!
