Steps to Maintain Good Oral Hygiene at Home

Maintaining good oral hygiene at home is essential to ensure the health of your mouth and prevent dental diseases. At Vivartec, we care about providing you with the information you need to take care of your smile, which is why today we’re sharing some key steps to maintain good oral hygiene at home.

The first step is to brush your teeth at least twice a day—once in the morning and once at night—using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. It’s important to brush all surfaces of your teeth, including the inner, outer, and chewing surfaces, using gentle circular motions to remove plaque.

In addition to brushing, flossing is essential to clean areas where your toothbrush can’t reach, such as between the teeth. Dental floss helps remove food particles and plaque that accumulate in these spaces, preventing cavities and gum disease.

Another important step is to use mouthwash after brushing, as it helps eliminate bacteria that cause bad breath and prevents plaque buildup. It’s important to choose a mouthwash that contains fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities.

Beyond these steps, it’s important to maintain a balanced diet and limit the consumption of sugary foods and carbonated drinks, as they contribute to tooth decay. It’s also recommended to visit your dentist at least twice a year for a professional cleaning and to check your oral health.
