Oral hygiene is the practice that is performed by keeping our mouth clean and healthy. Our teeth play a very important role in maintaining proper oral health. If our teeth don’t remain healthy then we have to suffer, such as: –
- Dental caries (It is a disease that can lead to the damage of teeth which can further cause tooth loss, pain and infection. Due to this disease our teeth becomes highly sensitive to even slightest of pH . Streptococcus mutans is the bacteria which is responsible for Dental caries. )
- Dental plaque (Large quantity of bacteria start growing on the teeth.)
- Gingivitis (Inflammation of gums)
- Periodontal disease (Inflammation of tissues surrounding the teeth. It may bleed, become swollen and painful)
- Bad breath (Foul smell coming from your mouth which can be caused by keeping your teeth unclean.)
The human tooth is the natural cutting and crushing tool in our mouth that helps in mastication. Our teeth are generally divided into 4 parts: –
- Incisors – Helps in cutting of food. There are generally 8 incisors in our mouth.
