Oral Hygiene 4 articles

Oral hygiene centres on the daily removal and control of dental plaque through effective toothbrushing and interdental cleaning. Brush type, fluoride toothpaste, brushing frequency, interdental aids and technique all affect how well home care reaches tooth and gingival surfaces, while bleeding can signal unresolved inflammation. The subject is personal plaque-control practice and instruction, including adherence and device selection, rather than diagnosis or operative treatment of established dental disease.
