Most of us brush our teeth once in a day. Ideally, we need to brush our teeth twice daily, morning and night before going to bed. Interdental Flossing, between all your teeth, at least once daily is recommended. Brushing and flossing remove food particles and plaque buildup while it's still soft. Thus protecting against tooth decay and gum diseases. If this debris stays on the teeth, bacteria will multiply throughout the night and possibly could harm the enamel of your teeth. Furthermore, if the plaque is allowed to harden, it will turn into calculus (tartar), which can only be removed by a dentist during a professional cleaning (Scaling). Professional Scaling is recommended at least once every 6 months to maintain the healthy gums and it could also identify any teeth problems in early stages. Dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush once every 3 months to prevent bacteria from building up in the bristles and the frayed bristles are not efficient in cleaning the teeth thoroughly. Oral health can be improved by lifestyle changes which include adapting routine dental hygiene care like following proper brushing techniques, ...
... taking nutritious diet and quitting habits like smoking, alcohol consumption which puts you at risk for oral cancer and other infections. Most of the dental issues can be prevented by following routine dental hygiene care measures, prevention is better than cure.
