Key Points
Good oral hygiene prevents tooth decay, bad breath, and gum disease.
Good Practices
- Brush teeth twice a day — morning and before bed.
- Clean the tongue with a tongue cleaner every day.
- Rinse mouth with water after every meal to remove food particles.
- Avoid too much sugar — bacteria in the mouth convert sugar to acid, which damages teeth.
- Elders traditionally used neem twigs (datun) — neem has natural antibacterial properties.
- Visit a dentist regularly for check-ups.
Clean teeth, clean tongue, and rinsing after meals are the three most important daily habits for oral hygiene.
