One of the most important aspects to maintaining good oral health and hygiene is taking proper care of our mouths. In order to keep our mouths healthy, we must brush our teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and remember to use mouthwash. Brushing removes plaque and food particles from the teeth, while flossing prevents food particles and plaque from settling between the teeth. Using mouthwash, which contains antiseptic properties, helps to prevent bacteria from growing in the mouth, providing a fresher breath. In addition to brushing and flossing, visiting the dentist twice a year is essential for the maintenance of healthy teeth. Seeing the dentist can help prevent dental problems from occurring, by identifying small issues before they escalate. During these visits, dentists can examine the teeth and gums, identify signs of cavities and gingivitis, and even apply fluoride to help further protect our teeth. For individuals who have braces, a few extra steps are necessary to help maintain good oral health. Braces can trap food and plaque, increasing the risk of gum disease and cavities. Additionally, fully brushing around the braces can be difficult. To prevent plaque and bacteria accumulation, brushing at least twice a day, using a toothbrush specifically designed for braces, is a must. For those who wear braces, it is also essential to use wax to protect the mouth from cuts caused by loose wires or protruding connectors. It is important to consider all aspects of oral care in order to achieve healthy overall oral health. Brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and regular visits to the dentist are all important components to having strong teeth and a healthy mouth for life.
