What is oral hygiene?

Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping one’s mouth clean and free of disease and other
problems (e.g. bad breath) by regular brushing and cleaning between the teeth. A huge
number of dental issues are preventable and can be avoided simply by having a good
oral care routine. Cavities, plaque, calculus and much more can be prevented with
regular brushing and flossing.

Bad oral hygiene habits

There are many things that we do that are bad habits when it comes to our teeth. They
include:

  • Brushing less than twice a day
  • Never flossing.
  • Drinking red wine or coffee.
  • Smoking or chewing tobacco.
  • Eating foods high in refined sugar (such as white bread and candy).
  • Snacking throughout the day without brushing.
  • Brushing too hard.
  • Avoiding the dentist altogether.

What a good oral routine looks like

  • Your teeth are sparklingly clean!
  • Your gums are a light pink and do not bleed when you brush or floss.

  • You use fluoride toothpaste.
  • You use a toothbrush with appropriate bristles.
  • You avoid sugary foods and things that will stain your teeth.
