    Frequently Asked Questions

    The golden rule for oral hygiene is to brush twice a day and floss at least once a day. This helps remove plaque and food particles, preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

    Oral hygiene is vital for the elderly to maintain overall health and quality of life. As we age, the risk of oral health problems like gum disease and tooth loss increases, which can affect speaking and eating abilities.

    What are 3 good oral hygiene practices?

    Three key practices for good oral hygiene include:

    1. Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste

    2. Flossing daily to remove plaque and food particles between teeth.

    3. Visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings

    Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn-out toothbrush may not clean effectively and can harbour bacteria, leading to potential oral health issues.

    No, mouthwash cannot replace brushing and flossing. While mouthwash helps freshen breath and kill bacteria, it doesn’t remove plaque and food particles. Use mouthwash as an addition to, not a replacement for, brushing and flossing.

    Bleeding gums may indicate gum disease or gingivitis. Brush gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss daily. If bleeding persists, consult a dentist for a professional evaluation and appropriate treatment.
