The importance of taking care of your oral health

Taking care of oral hygiene before the Brasil Sorridente program was only for those who had a dental plan or for those who could afford a private consultation.

Many people were unable to undergo any type of treatment, and only looked for a dentist in an extremely urgent case, but today there are no more excuses.

Taking care of oral health is extremely important, as it reduces the threat of chronic infectious and inflammatory processes.

The infectious or inflammatory process can cause diseases such as bacterial endocarditis, this disease causes inflammation of the membrane that covers the heart valves and heart walls, which can cause the patient's death.

The first step

The first step to good oral health is good oral hygiene. If the person does not have good hygiene, the residues that remain can cause gingivitis, bad breath, cavities, tartar and in more serious cases it can even lead to tooth loss.

Controlling the intake of some foods is also highly recommended by dentists, especially sweet foods such as chocolates, candies and cookies. The extreme consumption of these foods can cause the appearance of cavities, gum inflammation, tartars, among other problems.

To ensure good oral hygiene, proper brushing is extremely important, along with the use of mouthwashes and dental floss. In addition, it is also very recommended to clean the dental office periodically, ideally once every six months.

If you have any kind of problem, look for the nearest basic health unit and schedule your appointment. Do not leave it for later!
