-[oral hygiene] is the practice of keeping one’s mouth ‘clean’ + free ofย ‘disease’ย + other ‘problems’ (e.g.ย ‘bad breath’) by ‘regular brushing of the teeth’ (‘dental hygiene‘) and cleaning between the [teeth]-
.
(it is important that ‘oral hygiene’ be carried out on a regular basis to enable prevention of ‘dental disease’ + ‘bad breath’)
.
(the most common types of dental disease are
tooth decay
(cavities, dental caries)
gum diseases
(including ‘gingivitis’ + ‘periodontitis’)
.
General guidelines suggest brushing twice a day:
after breakfast and before going to bed,
but ideally the mouth would be cleaned after every meal
.
Cleaning between the teeth is called interdental cleaning and is as important as tooth brushing.
This is because a toothbrush cannot reach between the teeth and therefore only removes about 50% of plaque off the surface.
(there are many tools to clean between the teeth, including ‘floss’ + ‘interdental brushes’)
(it is up to each individual to choose which tool he or she prefers to use)
(sometimes ‘white’ or ‘straight’ teeth are associated with ‘oral hygiene’, but a ‘hygienic mouth’ may have ‘stained teeth’ and/or ‘crooked teeth’)
.
(for ‘appearance reasons’, people may seek out ‘teeth whitening’ + ‘orthodontics’)
