PRLog -- People who neglect their teeth run the risk not only of visits to the dentist for expensive treatments but also creating serious general health issues. A slight amount of daily discipline can create a situation where a person has a healthy mouth and can maintain that condition as the status quo. A couple of minutes in the morning and the evening can do the trick. Once the habits are established, it is simple to maintain them, and most people just complete the simple tasks without even thinking of what they are doing. Needless to say, one needs to brush their teeth. This is obviously not difficult and takes a maximum of about two minutes in the morning and before going to bed at night. In addition, take another minute and use dental floss. This will thoroughly clean between the teeth and also exercise the gums. In that way gingivitis and serious gum disease can be avoided. To enhance that procedure it is advisable to follow the advice a dentist gave me many years ago: get a WaterPik® machine. Note: I have no connection with this company and earn nothing from mentioning the name. This small appliance sends out pulsating jets of water that clean the teeth, massage the gums, and remove plaque. That dentist said that over half the problems he must address could be eliminated if people would only use one of these machines each day. In addition to the above, have your teeth professionally cleaned and polished by a dental hygienist twice a year. At the same time your dentist will examine your teeth to be sure nothing has changed since your last visit. Follow the above procedures, which are simple and only take a small amount of personal discipline, and you will maintain a healthy mouth for years and years. Learn more about good oral hygiene at
