Abstract

Dental hygiene and oral health practice

Dental hygiene is the practice of keeping the mouth and teeth clean in order to avoid dental issues such as gingivitis, cavities, bad breath, and periodontal (gum) disorders. The removal of dental plaque and tartar from teeth to prevent cavities, gum disease, gingivitis, and tooth decay is referred to as teeth cleaning. Heart attack, uncontrolled diabetes, and premature delivery are all linked to poor oral hygiene, particularly gum disease. Vincent infection is a horrible mouth disease marked by grey mucous membrane ulcers, gum bleeding, foul breath, and other symptoms.
