Oral hygiene

Oral hygiene refers to the practice of maintaining clean and healthy teeth and gums to prevent dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. Good oral hygiene habits include brushing teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing between teeth daily to remove plaque and food particles, and using mouthwash to rinse away bacteria and freshen breath. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also essential components of oral hygiene to detect and treat any issues early on.
