Dental care is a crucial aspect of maintaining good health. Regular visit to the dentist can not only keep your teeth and oral health in perfect working condition but also prevents from tooth decay, cavity and gum problems. It is generally recommended to visit your dentist at least once in every 6 months. If the teeth are not cleaned or brushed properly every day, then the effects of poor dental care may range from tooth decay, cavities and tooth loss. Tooth decay signs start from visible holes in your teeth, pain when you bite and feeling of sensitivity in your teeth. Regular cleaning of teeth also helps in preventing cavity causing bacteria from progressing to gum disease. The cavity causing bacteria eat sugar and release cavity causing acid (plaque) on to the teeth. These bacteria are almost always present in our mouth, so, limiting the sugary food and frequent cleaning of the teeth may help prevent decay.

It is essential to follow the general guidelines as a preventive measure for maintaining good oral heath:

Brushing your teeth: Take at least 2 to 3 minutes for brushing your teeth daily twice in a day. Good brushing of teeth involves circular motion, from one end of the mouth to the other, keeping in mind to pay attention on the neglected areas as well such as back teeth and tongue. Use of soft bristle brush and toothpaste containing fluoride will make the brushing better.

Flossing: Flossing on regular basis after meals and before brushing of teeth actually loosen and takes out the debris where tooth brush cannot reach. The proper way to floss is to push the floss gently between your teeth to the gums.

Mouthwash: Using a mouthwash that contains fluoride kills bacteria responsible for plaque formation that causes cavities and gum diseases. Mouth washing twice a day gives better results.

Regular visits: Regular dentist visits once in every 6 months help in identifying the dental problems at early stages, and thus preventing major problems.

But, many people are afraid or feel uncomfortable when they have to sit in vulnerable positions on dentist chair and experience dental anxiety, resulting in avoiding the dentist visits.
