Do you like to eat sweet food? Four tips on how to maintain proper oral hygiene

VILNIUS, Lithuania - Oct. 24, 2018 - PRLog -- 1. The first and most important thing is to clean your teeth at least twice a day. Just a few minutes spent, and you will avoid tormenting toothaches and additional costs. It is important to mention that odontologists say that cleaning should not be done haphazardly;  you should clean your teeth with circular movements, without causing damage to the gums. You can also use dental floss and rinse aid to ensure your teeth and gums are clean. This will guarantee perfect mouth hygiene!

2. Visit a dentist where you will be provided with professional oral hygiene at least once a year.

Oral hygienists at the KOA Dentistry Clinic say that this procedure will not only help to prevent dental diseases, but will also perfectly clean the plaque away. As a result, teeth are whiter, cleaner and, of course, healthier. Oral hygiene will help to remove bad smells and tooth sensitivity. The procedure at the KOA Dentistry Clinic lasts 30-60 minutes.

3. Chew chewing gum that does not contain sugar. According to the World Dental Federation, a chewing gum containing no sugar can help to ensure excellent oral hygiene: removing food residue, stimulating saliva production and reducing acidity in the mouth. It is even more beneficial if the chewing gum contains Xylitol - birch sugar. As confirmed by research, the Xylitol molecule contains five and not six carbon atoms, and therefore caries-causing bacteria are unable to effectively use Xylitol for their growth. This is one of the reasons why Xylitol helps protect against caries.

4. Drink water and use it to rinse your mouth after you eat a meal. Drinking water is one of the easiest ways to protect your teeth from caries. Water will also help to remove food residue and to normalise the pH value of the mouth. Water contains fluorine - a nature's warrior against caries. Those who care about oral hygiene are advised to rinse their mouth with water after sweet or alcoholic beverages.
