It is important to maintain great oral health. Having healthy teeth will let you not only look great but feel it too. It also helps in reducing your chance of having bad breath or any dental-related issues. Poor oral health can lead to problems with your overall health as it affects your chewing capability. It can affect your saliva. And it can cause infections that could adversely affect your health. If your oral health issues start to swell, it can cause severe health problems.<\/p>\n
To achieve excellent oral health, it is recommended that you visit your dentist at least once a year. On your annual visit, your dentist will give you a thorough cleaning of your teeth and an x-ray of it. It is important in keeping good oral health because your dentist will be able to see the cavities forming in your teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span>These cavities aren’t visible to the naked eye. It is cheaper to restore a cavity than filling it with one. Moreover, if the cavities are big enough it can cause pain and tooth sensitivity.<\/p>\n
It is also recommended to get your teeth cleaned by your dentist twice a year. Brushing alone won’t clean the teeth as it can’t reach into the areas where most bacteria hide. Your dentist will be able to get into those hard to reach areas as they have the proper tools to clean it. Dentists also have more powerful cleaning agents. Our store-bought toothpaste and mouthwash don’t have such.<\/p>\n
When you do daily teeth brushing at home, make sure to use only soft bristled toothbrush to prevent hurting your teeth or gums. Soft-bristled brushes are not only comfortable but are safe for your teeth regardless of how vigorously your brush your teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day – one after the meal and one before bed. Brushing your teeth more than that would likely end up damaging your teeth enamel. This is because toothpaste contains abrasives to get rid of the stains in your teeth. Do not forget to clean your tongue every time you brush your teeth. Your tongue is a breeding ground for bacteria as food particles get stuck between the ridges. You can use your toothbrush to clean out your tongue or better yet, use a tongue cleaner.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s essential to keep your oral health in great shape. Not only do healthy teeth keep you looking and feeling great, but it also reduces the chances of getting bad breath and other troublesome conditions, but it is better for your overall health as well. Bad oral health can lead to problems with general health because it can affect your chewing ability, can affect saliva production and can even cause infections that spread throughout your body. Oral health issues that cause swelling can also cause problems with your general health.<\/p>\n
