<p>Maintaining your mouth clean and healthy is very important. This not only serves the purpose of maintaining the health of your teeth and gums but is<br/>
also important for maintaining your overall health as potential problems can arise if your teeth or gums are not in good shape.</p>
<p> Many people are under the wrong impression that oral hygiene is only about brushing the teeth. Brushing the teeth is just one part of the oral hygiene.<br/>
Other oral hygiene habits should involve maintaining the gums and the surface of the tongue clean and healthy.</p>
<p> Brushing your teeth will involve the use of <a href="http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/articles/toothpaste.html">toothpaste</a> and<br/>
an ordinary toothbrush or an <a href="http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/electric-toothbrush.html">electric toothbrush</a>. Brushing<br/>
will not only help remove accumulated food particles from tooth surfaces it will also rid the teeth of plaque and bacterial growth. Care should be<br/>
taken to clean all the surfaces of the teeth and every tooth should be given adequate care so that nothing remains on the surface. Brushing after meals<br/>
is very necessary as once a day brushing will not suffice in eliminating bacterial growth.</p>
<p> Flossing the teeth will help remove any food or plaque that is present in between your teeth. Stimulation from your brush will help in keeping your<br/>
gums healthy. But, you can benefit a lot more if you are incorporating a <a href="http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/articles/mouthwash.html">mouthwash</a> as part of your oral hygiene. This will be more<br/>
effective in reducing the bacterial growth in your mouth and keep gum problems like gingivitis and periodontitis at bay.</p>
<p> Bad breath is caused due to bacterial release of sulfur compounds. Along with bacterial accumulation on the teeth and gum surfaces, bacterial growth is<br/>
also seen on the surfaces and crevices of the tongue. So, unless you clean the surface of the tongue with a tongue cleaner or your toothbrush itself,<br/>
your oral hygiene routine will not be complete.</p>
<p> Follow oral hygiene routines diligently. Also, do not forget to visit your Dentist at regular intervals as you may never realize that you might be<br/>
suffering from some dental problem that needs immediate attention.</p>
