Oral hygiene is very important for keeping our teeth and gums healthy. It involves taking care of our mouth by brushing our teeth and flossing every day. Brushing helps to remove the food particles and plaque that can cause cavities and gum disease. We should use a toothbrush with soft bristles and toothpaste with fluoride. It is also important to brush our tongue to remove bacteria and keep our breath fresh. Flossing helps to clean between our teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach. We should floss at least once a day.
