The Basics of Oral Hygiene
Let us first understand the basics of oral hygiene and what oral care activities should you add to your routine for the best health:
- Brushing Technique:Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your teeth effectively, while also not harming your gums. Additionally, make it a practice to brush at least twice a day for two minutes each time. The best way to do this is to divide the four quadrants of your mouth for 30 seconds of brushing each. Ensure you cover all surfaces of your teeth and brush gently.
- Flossing:The second step to good oral hygiene is flossing your teeth. This is essential to remove plaque as well as food particles that get stuck between teeth. These food particles are not always easy to be removed by a toothbrush. Hence, flossing proves beneficial and you can do this at least once a day.
- Mouthwash:You can use an antimicrobial mouthwash as a rinse to help reduce plaque and gingivitis. While mouthwash may not suit everyone, it should be used only if necessary. Excessive use of mouthwash can dry your mouth as well and increase other health concerns including cavities. But remember, mouthwash is not a replacement for brushing or flossing your teeth.
- Tongue Cleaning:Lastly and most importantly, use Vega tongue cleaners to complete your oral care routine. Often overlooked by a majority of the population, tongue cleaning is crucial to complete the oral hygiene routine every day. Like food particles get stuck in between teeth, the tongue is home to a plethora of bacteria and food debris, that can cause bad breath and other oral health issues.
Importance of Tongue Cleaning
The use of a tongue cleaner can significantly improve your oral health. The range of tongue cleaners by Vega is gentle on your tongue. They are carefully designed to scrape off residue and bacteria from the tongue, leaving the mouth fresh and healthy. Here is a list of benefits that you can experience right from the first use of a tongue cleaner:
- Bad Breath Control: One of the most common yet worst oral health issues are bad breath. It originates from bacteria that accumulate on the tongue. But scraping them off gently and regularly using a tongue cleaner can reduce those unpleasant odors to a great extent
- Improved Taste: If you have been experiencing a lack of taste or the sense of not getting the best of what you actually loved eating earlier, the issue may be with tongue residue. Cleaning the tongue at least once a day will enhance your sense of taste by removing the residues and bacteria hindering the taste buds
- Healthy Teeth: Cleaning your tongue will remove the bacteria residing on it and help your teeth as well. Issues such as cavities, plaque and gum disease can be minimized as well when your tongue is clean
- Happy Gut: When you have healthy oral health, you automatically have a healthy gut. This ultimately helps improve your overall health by boosting immunity, digestive system and many more.
Conclusion
Vega tongue cleaners are flexible to use and easy to clean. They can be rinsed easily under running water before and after use. Incorporating tongue cleaning into your oral hygiene routine is crucial for overall oral health. Whether you choose to opt for a metal tongue cleaner, copper or Vega EasyGlide Tongue Cleaner (Plastic), regular and gentle cleaning will help maintain a healthy mouth. Make it a habit to care for your tongue as it is only a small step towards making a big difference.
