Maintaing proper oral hygiene, just as brushing your teeth, gargling, and flossing, help to maintain a balance of the bacteria in your mouth. It can help to prevent infection of the teeth or gums. It definitely prevents cavities to start with, and cavities can lead to an abscessed tooth.

There are many dentists who say that maintaining proper oral hygiene also effects many other systems of the body, such as preventing Heart disease, helping for a healthy pregnancy, any many other whole-body issues.
