2. Oral Hygiene
• Lookswoow offers services of Oral Hygiene in Dubai and it includes a
group of processes used for the removal of dental microbial plaque
from our teeth and maintaining a healthy mouth environment that
prevents the development of dental health problems affecting teeth,
gums or other tissues of the oral cavity. Good oral hygiene, proper
diet and regular visits to a dentist are the key factors for good oral
health.

3. Risks of Poor Oral Hygiene
• The primary goal of any dental hygiene routine is the prevention of the oral
health problems caused by the build-up of microbial plaque. Poor oral
hygiene allows the continuous accumulation of acid producing bacteria on
the surface of the teeth that demineralize the tooth enamel causing tooth
decay (cavities) and irritate or infect the gums causing gum disease and
periodontitis
• Both conditions increase the risk of losing one or more teeth. If we exclude
tooth injuries, in almost all other cases involving tooth loss, the causative
factor is the lack of proper daily oral hygiene
• Except tooth decay and gum disease, many other dental health problems,
such as oral thrush, trench mouth, bad breath and others are a side effect
of poor dental hygiene. Dental conditions as tooth abscess and
periodontitis have been linked with serious general health problems such
as heart attacks and strokes

4. How important is Good Oral Hygiene
• Prevention is always better than treatment. Most dental problems
can be avoided with a proper oral hygiene routine. The modern
dietary patterns with fast food and soft drinks have increased the
risks for oral health. By dedicating only some minutes every day to
dental hygiene care we can save ourselves from toothaches and costly
dental treatments. Unfortunately, most of the patients remember the
importance of dental hygiene only after a painful and expensive
dental treatment (but even then, it doesn’t last long).
• Healthy teeth are necessary for our overall well-being, allowing us to
eat properly, speak clearly, and look and feel good. It is important to
understand that brushing and flossing teeth must become a habit
that will follow us for all our life

5. Oral Hygiene Methods
• In recent years the awareness of the importance of healthy hygiene
habits has increased significantly and a large variety of oral health
products have become widely available. Your dentist can help you
choose the most suitable products for your needs and educate you on
how to use them properly for your daily preventive oral care
• The main methods for good oral hygiene are:
• Tooth Brushing
• Teeth Flossing
• Mouth Wash
• Other Interdental Cleaning tools

6. Tooth Brushing
• Regular brushing of teeth is essential for maintaining good oral
hygiene. Mechanical removal of dental plaque with the use of a
toothbrush is the most effective method of cleaning the teeth from
bacteria and food residuals. Electric toothbrushes can make this task
easier.
• The toothpaste helps in washing away bacteria and food, but also
provides additional ingredients such as fluoride and antimicrobial
agents to strengthen teeth and enhance their protection. Our
toothbrush must be changed regularly, so that it is always in good
condition. We must also know how to use our toothbrush properly.
How and for how long we brush our teeth are critical factors for the
effectiveness of teeth cleaning

7. Teeth Flossing
• The use of dental floss is important for the cleaning of the areas
between teeth (interdental cleaning) and under the gum line. These
are areas where the toothbrush bristles can’t reach and clean. For
this reason we have to floss our teeth at least once a day in addition
to tooth brushing

8. Mouth Wash
• Mouthwashes or mouth rinses can be used complementary of
brushing and flossing. Although their most common use is for
freshening the breath, some contain fluoride and antimicrobial agents
to increase teeth protection. In any case, it must be clear that the use
of mouthwashes can NOT substitute regular brushing and flossing of
teeth. Brush your teeth at least twice a day

9. Basic Oral Hygiene Tips
Learn how to brush teeth properly. Brush for at least 2 minutes minimum
twice a day
Use a medium or soft toothbrush. Change it every 3 months
Choose toothpastes and mouthwashes without alcohol and contain
fluoride.
Use dental floss at least once a day.
Use interdental cleaning tools (especially if you have bridges, implants or
braces)
Avoid foods that cause tooth decay. Sugary and acidic foods and drinks can
damage your teeth. Watch your diet and prefer healthy foods for teeth
