Oral health can be affected throughout the day by bacteria from various sources. Apart from food and drink, there are many more things that we end up putting in our mouths throughout the day. Pencils and pens, the temple of our glasses, biting our nails, a hair tie or a hairpin …
All this means that if we do not carry out proper dental hygiene, negative bacteria accumulate and lead to problems that affect teeth and gums.
We give you some tips so that you have good daily oral hygiene:
– Brush your teeth daily: the process should last between 2 and 3 minutes and be done at least three times a day to remove both food debris and bacterial dental plaque.
– Have a suitable brush: the size of the head should not be very large, the filaments that are medium or soft and to maintain it should be changed approximately every 2-4 months depending on wear.
– Use dental floss or tape to clean the spaces between the teeth.
– Make mouthwashes with products for daily use or specific depending on the needs of each one.
– The mouth is not just teeth: for tongue cleaning, movements must be made from back to front to drag the residue, although there are special cleaners.
– Control the consumption of sugary foods as much as possible and try to brush afterwards.
– Go to the dentist regularly: It is recommended to visit the dentist 1 or 2 times a year to perform a review of the mouth at least and a professional cleaning.
