Oral hygiene is of utmost importance. Your daily habits and irregular eating schedules can land you in a lot of trouble, from infecting your teeth to causing foul odour and more. Oral hygiene is a practice which should be maintained since childhood. Brushing and flossing go hand in hand, as you set a straight path to combat dental issues.

If you are a frequent visitor at the dentist Mumbai, he or she might have told you every single time to brush twice a day, limit junk food or rinse your mouth after every meal. A good set of teeth is hard to maintain, and not everyone is born with it. It takes a lot of hard work since your teeth might be exposed to decay and damage on a regular basis.

You can maintain good oral hygiene in the following ways:
 

  • Remove plaque - Plaque is a bacterial substance, similar to dirt, which gets stuck to your teeth quite often and can be the cause of decay, yellowing of teeth, foul odour and more. Thus, it is essential for you to get rid of plaque on a daily basis by flossing and brushing your teeth the right way, at least twice a day. It is also essential to wash your mouth after every meal to prevent accumulation of dirt or pieces of your food stuck in your teeth.
     
  • Brushing - Everyone brushes their teeth right after waking up. Some people even brush before going to bed. It is important for you to get into a healthy brushing habit. So take your time and make sure that your brush reaches every tooth for proper cleaning.

Always place your brush at a 45-degree angle next to your gum. Start with your front teeth and spread the toothpaste right across the exterior of your teeth. You should also brush your tongue after washing to ensure that no bacteria lie on it. Your tongue is the storehouse of bacteria, and it is essential to keep it clean besides your teeth.

If you still face some discomfort or pain in the tooth, you can visit your dentist Mumbai for the right treatment. He or she can offer you painless dental work for treatment if need be.
