HOW I PERSONALLY TAKE CARE OF MY ORAL HEALTH AND IT'BENEFITS.

My oral care products

It takes a life time of care for one to achieve healthy teeth.even if I have been told that I have a nice teeth I did not stop caring for my teeth every day to prevent teeth diseases and doing this involved getting the right oral care products and also mindful of my daily habits.

Healthy teeth and gum make it easy for me to eat and enjoyed my food. Many problem can affect the health of a mouth, teeth and tongue but taking good and proper oral care keep my mouth,teeth and gum strong.

What I usually do to maintain my oral health care

• Brushing of Teeth: brushing of teeth is one of the simplest way I clean my teeth and I do this regularly. I brush my teeth at least twice a day before and after eating.in the morning and also in the night before going to bed.

Steps for proper oral health care

• brush properly: the way I used to brush my teeth is important because doing a poor job of brushing teeth is as bad as not brushing it at all so I took time to brush.
  I moved the toothbrush gently and in a circular motion to make sure that I removed all the plaque. Secondly I don't neglect my tongue because plague can also build on my tongue if not brush and it can leads to bad mouth odour and also oral health problem such as tooth decay.

• I gently brush my teeth on all sides with soft bristle brush and long rich toothpaste.

• I used 2-3 minutes to do this and most importantly I replaced my toothbrush every 3-4 month

• I brush my tongue to help keep my mouth free from bad mouth odour.

• then finally I used clean water to rinse my mouth.

Me brushing my mouth

• Sometimes I used chewing stick ( okok in Ibibio dialect) ,this is my local way to care for my oral health, this chewing stick is medicinal.chewing stick can help removed some tiny remaining food that stock in between the teeth and the gum and other harmful things which cannot be removed with regular brushing, chewing stick also allowed me to reach deep between the teeth which toothbrush cannot reach.

Others way that I take care of my oral health

• eating a balanced healthy diet: this includes eating fresh fruit and vegetables.these contains some healthy fibers that are more healthy to the teeth.

• I always drink enough water : water help and washed out some of the negative effects of sticky and acidic food in between the teeth and the gum.

• I limit eating sweet and sugary drinks for it causes cavity and wear down tooth enamel.

• stay away from smoking: staying away from tobacco keep me away from oral cancer and other teeth diseases.
