Why is oral hygiene done?
The ideal oral hygiene order is the one that you will stick with! Follow these oral hygiene instructions to maintain your oral hygiene. To maintain oral hygiene, remember to brush your teeth twice daily for two minutes at a time. Make sure to cover each and every surface of your teeth. Keep a check to know when you need to replace your toothbrush. Likewise, maintain all your other oral hygiene equipment. Floss at least once a day and avoid damaging your gums, be gentle and follow the curve of your teeth. Swish a small amount of mouthwash around in your mouth for about 30 to 40 seconds before spitting it out. Cleaning your tongue is equally important. When using a toothbrush to clean your tongue, use a little toothpaste and brush in circular motions. A tongue scraper or flossing works the best in this situation. I'd recommend you to go ahead and take the extra step of adding Bipha Ayurveda's Arimedadi Thailam to enjoy the benefits of a good oral hygiene routine. Its ayurvedic oral hygiene formula relieves bad breath problems, tooth decay, removes stains, and provides you with healthy gums.
