It is time for us not to think of our mouths as somehow disconnected

from the rest of our bodies. The same blood flows through them, the same nerves go to them. To have a healthy body you need a healthy

mouth.


Oral hygiene includes all the processes for keeping mouth clean and healthy.

Good oral hygiene is necessary for prevention of dental caries, periodontal

diseases, bad breath and other dental problems.

Oral Hygiene


• Prevention is always better than cure. Good oral hygiene habits will keep away

most of the dental problems saving you from toothaches and costly dental

treatments.

• Awareness regarding the importance of oral hygiene has significantly

increased in the developed countries, but contrary to that, the modern dietary

lifestyle habits are posing a greater risk for oral health.

Good oral health is important to your overall well-being.

Importance of good oral hygiene:


• Dental caries

• Gingivitis

• Periodontitis

• Halitosis

By maintaining good oral hygiene we can prevent:


1. Brushing your teeth (at least twice a day or after every meal)

2. Floss your teeth regularly

3. Proper diet

4. Other interdental cleaning

5. Rinsing

6. Regular dental checkups

Basic steps for maintaining oral hygiene:


1. Always use a soft bristled toothbrush

2. Use anti-cavity Fluoride toothpaste

3. Hold toothbrush at a 45-degree angle at the gum line, brushing in a circular

motion. This sweeps plaque out of the gingival pocket

4. Brush teeth for a minimum of two minutes at least twice a day.

5. Brush gums and tongue along with your teeth.

6. Don’t brush too hard because this can cause gingival (gum) recession.

1. Brushing


1. For thorough but gentle cleansing, use a soft toothbrush

2. Hold your brush at a 45° angel. Begin by brushing the outside of the front teeth.

Use a gentle back-and-forth motion.

3. Next, brush the outside back teeth, starting along the gumline.

4. Inside back teeth. Use short, angled brush

5. Inside front teeth. Tilt the brush vertically; use an up-and-down motion.

6. Chewing surfaces. Hold the brush flat. Use a gentle scrubbing motion.

Proper brushing method


METHOD:1. Use an arms length (18 inches) of floss. Wrap around fingers mostly to one side.2. Floss each tooth forming a “C” shape with the floss each time.3. A new area of floss should be introduced into each gingival pocket.4. Don’t forget to floss behind your last molar.

REASONS FOR FLOSSING:• Flossing removes plaque from behind your teeth that brushing misses.• Flossing helps prevent periodontal disease by removing plaque.

STEPS:• Use about 18" of floss, leaving an inch or two to work with.• Gently follow the curves of your teeth.• Be sure to clean beneath the gum line, but avoid snapping the floss on the

gums.

2. Flossing


1. Avoid foods that are high in sugar content.

2. Carbonated drinks are more acidic than non carbonated drinks; hence more

dangerous.

3. Foods like potato crisps tend to stick in the grooves; stay for an extended

period and cause decay.

4. Avoid excessive intake of fruit juices (can be very acidic). They can be diluted

with water.

3. Proper Diet


1. Single tufted brushes:• one large bristle.• for cleaning spaces between teeth.• to carry medicated gel into pockets.

2. Interdental brushes:• for cleaning spaces between teeth.• for cleaning pontics.

3. Interdental woodsticks:• Specially shaped ‘tooth picks’ made from either wood or plastic.• used for interdental cleaning.

4. Super floss:• Special type of floss designed to clean beneath pontics or fixed bridges.

4. Other interdental cleaning


• Regular rinses with a good mouthwash helps to keep your mouth

clean, fresh and germ free.

• Daily rinses must be alcohol free (they cause dryness of oral mucosa)

• Fluoride rinses helps to boost the strength of newly erupted teeth.

• It is important to follow manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not rinse the mouth with water after using mouthwash

5. Rinsing


• Good oral hygiene should be a joined effort between you and your dentist.

• 2 visits a year are covered by your dental insurance.

• Your dentist, if visited regularly, will detect and prevent any problem before it

becomes hazardous for you.

• Regular dental checkups are an essential part of dental hygiene routine for

young and old alike.

6. Regular dental checkups


Good oral hygiene results in a mouth that looks and smells healthy.

This means:

• Your teeth are clean and free of debris

• Gums are pink and do not hurt or bleed when you brush or floss

• Bad breath is not a constant problem.
