Dental Hygiene
Maintaining excellent dental hygiene is crucial for ensuring the longevity and health of your teeth and gums.
At Campos dental, we believe that preventive care is the foundation of a beautiful and healthy smile. Understanding the importance of dental hygiene and following a consistent oral care routine can significantly reduce the risk of common dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease.
What is Dental Hygiene?
Dental hygiene refers to the practices that keep your mouth clean and free from disease. This includes regular brushing and flossing, as well as professional dental cleanings. Proper dental hygiene helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while contributing to overall health.
Why is Dental Hygiene Important?
Good dental hygiene is not only about keeping your teeth looking good; it’s about maintaining your overall health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to more serious issues such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. By taking care of your teeth and gums, you are also protecting your overall health.
Daily Oral Care Routine
Brushing: Brush your teeth at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. Make sure to brush for two minutes, covering all surfaces of your teeth.
Flossing: Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles between your teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.
Mouthwash: Rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash to kill bacteria and keep your breath fresh.
Professional Dental Hygiene
Even with the best at-home care, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Regular visits to a dental hygienist for professional cleaning are essential. During these appointments, your hygienist will remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and provide personalised advice on maintaining oral health.
At Campos dental, we recommend visiting your hygienist at least twice a year to keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition.
