You brush your teeth (and tongue) for at least two minutes twice a day, use fluoride toothpaste, gargle with mouthwash, replace your toothbrush every four months, and visit your dentist twice a year. Know more:
YOU brush your teeth for at least two minutes twice a day, use fluoride toothpaste, gargle with mouthwash, replace your toothbrush every four months, and visit your dentist twice a year. Yet no oral care routine is complete if it doesn’t include flossing, or cleaning between the teeth with a thin, soft waxed cord.
Clearly, even the most vigilant toothbrushing isn’t enough. “The goal of brushing and flossing is the same—to remove the accumulation of plaque, the sticky deposit on teeth where bacteria proliferate,” says Regina Isabel S. Morales, DMD of the Dental Medicine Department of leading health institute Makati Medical Center .
People with heart valve conditions are especially vulnerable to gum disease. “The bacteria in your mouth could travel through your bloodstream, find their way to your heart, and infect your heart’s valves,” Morales says.
