Dental hygiene refers to the practice of keeping the mouth, teeth, and gums clean and healthy to prevent disease. Often dental hygiene and oral health is being taken for granted. Tooth decay (cavities) is a common problem for people of all ages. For children, as well as adults. If untreated, cavities can cause pain, and deep infection which would lead to loosing the teeth. Proper hygiene can always help to save your teeth from succumbing to cavity.

Keys to good dental hygiene include brushing for at least two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily and seeing your dentist every six months for check-ups and dental cleanings. Diet is just as important. Keeping sugar intake to a minimum is vital. Alcohol consumption should be in moderation. Smoking, or any type of tobacco use, should be avoided.
