How to Brush And Maintain Your Teeth

Brushing your teeth is the single most important activity, which can maintain your teeth healthy and save your money. The main objective in carrying out oral hygiene (term for cleanliness in the mouth ) procedures is to remove bacterial plaque (thin film of bacteria) from the teeth. The most important reason for establishing good plaque control is to prevent and treat gum disease and dental cavities.

Most people brush their teeth for social reasons - they want 'fresh breath' and white teeth. We can use these reasons to help motivate people, but at the same time, we must educate them so that they understand what they are doing and why they are doing it.
