Dental health means
Early and regular oral and dental hygiene.
Less consumption of sugars.
Efficient use of toothbrush and dental floss.
Use of fluoride in the recommended forms
Dental and oral health is our responsibility, thus, we,
Should cooperate together in order to acquire the right
Information and healthy nutrition habits to combat the
Spread of oral and dental diseases. Only then, we would
Be able to preserve a proper social appearance and avoid
Pains and suffering from dental caries and gum problems.
What
are the Reason Behind Dental Caries and Gum Diseases?
The primary factor causing these problems is the Plaque.
If we get rid of the plaque we can save ourselves the agony of these diseases.
What is Plaque? How does it form? What is its role?
How can we remove it?
Plaque is a smooth layer made up of bacteria and its
Secretions. This layer reacts with food residues (mainly
Sugars) and adheres itself to the tooth surface. If left
For long periods of time, this layer would solidify to
Form calcified residues that difficult to remove except with the help of the dentist.
Dental caries;
Plaque + Sugars = Acid + Unprotected Healthy tooth=
Caries
If dental caries were not treated early on, decay would reach the tooth nerve leading to tremendous pains. And if treatment were much delayed, the tooth would have to
Be completely removed.

Gum problems
With the build up of plaque and calcified layers the gums would turn into a darker color, become enlarged, and develop an undesirable odor. If it is not promptly treated
Gum bleeding takes place. And if this condition were totally neglected, the gums would become detached from
The tooth surface leading to the formation of a gingival
Pocket that would resorbe the tooth bones, thus, causing loosening of the tooth, and ultimately the dentist would
Have to remove it.

What are the right methods to prevent or remove plaque?
Since childhood, the mouth must be kept clean as part
Of your personal hygiene rituals.
Food residues and plaque must be removed by the right methods as follows :
First-Tooth Brushing
You must choose a soft toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste. You place the toothbrush next to the gum
Lining, then you start moving the brush steadily in short movements to clean a few number of teeth, including the chewing surface, and brushing of every jaw separately.
You should brush all internal and external tooth surfaces.
Second-Dental Flossing
Since a toothbrush cannot reach hidden surfaces of teeth, dental flossing must be used as explained by pictures down below. A 45 cm flossing thread must be wrapped around the middle fingers and slowly introduced between teeth. Then you start moving the dental floss up and down to remove any food residues and plaque. |
