Caib Maxilambo

Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping one's mouth clean by frequent brushing of the teeth (dental hygiene) and cleaning between the teeth, free of disease and other issues (e.g. bad breath). To prevent dental illness and bad breath, it is vital that oral hygiene is carried out on a regular basis. Tooth caries (cavities, dental caries) and gum diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are the most common forms of dental disease.
