Test Your Knowledge on Oral Hygiene

Introduction:

We all know that by maintaining good oral hygiene, we can have good oral health. But did you know that this can help you have good overall health as well?

The practice of maintaining a healthy, disease-free mouth is known as oral hygiene. It includes frequent dental checkups, including cleanings, intra oral examinations, and X-rays, as well as tooth brushing and flossing.

Prevention is the goal of oral hygiene. By taking appropriate care of your teeth and gums, you can prevent oral health issues from developing in the first place.

Whole-body health is connected to oral health as well. For instance, if you have an infection in your mouth, the germs could travel to other parts of your body through your bloodstream and cause heart disease and stroke. Long-term overall health depends on maintaining strong teeth and gums (1^✔).
