Title: Oral hygiene

ORAL HYGIENE

TEETH CLEANING
  • Teeth cleaning is part of oral hygiene and
    involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth
    to prevent cavities., gingivitis, and periodontal
    disease. People routinely clean their own teeth
    by brushing and interdental cleaning, and dental
    hygienists can remove hardened deposits not
    removed by routine cleaning. Those with dentures
    and natural teeth may supplement their cleaning
    with a denture cleaner.

TEETH POLISHING
  • Tooth polishing is the act of smoothing the tooth
    surface. The use of polishing is to make it
    difficult for plaque to accumulate on the tooth
    surface area. Tooth polishing is normally the
    final stage of the dental cleaning and scaling,
    along with certain other processes. This process
    removes the stains and polishes and smooths the
    tooth surface.

FLOSSING
  • Dental floss is a cord of thin filaments used to
    remove food and dental plaque from between teeth
    in areas a toothbrush is unable to reach.As the
    build-up of plaque in interproximal areas is the
    primary cause of dental disease, such as
    gingivitis and dental caries, the use of floss is
    commonly recommended in order to prevent these
    conditions from developing.

INTERDENTAL BRUSHES
  • This kind of brush have bristled small heads that
    are especially aimed to clean the spaces among
    your teeth. They are disposable and are supplied
    with a reusable angled plastic handle. To use an
    interdental brush, softly push it back and forth
    between your teeth along your gum line, but do
    not force it, as it can damage your gums.

ORAL IRRIGATION
  • An oral irrigator has a small reservoir that has
    to be filled with water. The latest type usually
    use electricity to function with a switch to set
    the power at the preferred strength. Most
    irrigators work at a speed of 1600 pulse per
    minute and omit ultrasonic pulse in your mouth
    and the teeth to beat the bacteria and the
    plaque.
