Oral Health
A healthy smile is more than something cosmetic. Studies indicate that the health of your teeth and gums can indicate the status of all your health in general. Poor dental hygiene has been coupled with a high risk of some diseases in adults. Some people such as diabetics and pregnant women are at greater risk of developing gum disease.
In children, the problem is equally serious. The American Dental Association (ADA acronym in English) indicates that when a child has serious tooth decay can affect your overall health and lead to problems eating, speaking and even cause school failure. You can read more about ways to avoid problems in oral hygiene.
Oral Hygiene
It was thought that old age was trailing natural teeth. We now know that this is not true. According to the National Centre for Information About Oral Hygiene (NOHIC acronym in English), following some simple steps to keep your teeth and gums – as well as visiting your dentist regularly – you can keep your teeth for life.
First, what is the plate? Plaque is made up of invisible masses of harmful germs that live in the mouth and stick to the teeth. Some types of plaque cause tooth decay. Other types of plaque cause gum disease.
It is therefore important to remove all food debris and plaque from the teeth. Remove plaque at least once a day – twice a day is much better:
Use dental floss to remove germs and food particles between teeth. Note! Insert the floss between your teeth gently. Do not ‘hit target’, this could hurt your gums. Toothbrush. Use any method of brushing the teeth that is most comfortable, but do not rub vigorously from side to side. Small circular motions and short back and moves the other side is the best. Use a toothpaste with fluoride. Fluoride protects teeth from decay. It is also important to avoid sugary foods. Damaging acids form in your mouth every time you eat a candy bar. If you eat fewer sweets, bacteria produce smaller amounts of acid which destroys tooth enamel.
Sealants can also be important. Sealants are plastic coatings, thin, applied on the surfaces of teeth. Sealants can be placed in dentists’ offices, clinics, and sometimes in schools. Sealants are applied by painting the teeth with a liquid that hardens quickly forming a protective layer covering the surface sealants to the chewing teeth, preventing the entry of germs and food particles that cause tooth decay.
As soon as the kids leave their permanent molars sealants should be placed before the tooth can damage them. Adolescents and young adults who have no cavities or fillings (fillings) on the teeth can also get sealants.

Dental health refers to all aspects of health and functioning of our mouth especially the teeth and gums. In addition to afford to eat, talk, laugh (look nice), teeth and gums should be free of infections that can cause cavities, gum inflammation, tooth loss and bad breath.
Caries, also known as cavities, is the most common disease of the teeth. The main factors to control caries are oral hygiene, fluoride use and moderate consumption of cariogenic foods.
Teeth are also affected by “tooth wear” or erosion. This is a normal process that occurs with age, as they lost tooth enamel due to exposure from acids other than those produced by plaque.

How Bad Breath Happens
When halitosis originates in the oral cavity can be several causes: the presence of caries, periodontal disease, bleeding or inadequate positioning of the teeth to proper oral hygiene prevents food residue left in the mouth.
Another cause of bad breath what is the decrease in saliva in the mouth is known as dry mouth.

As the doctor Pizarro, sometimes bad breath can become a chronic problem, and the sooner the patient is evaluated, the better.
What caused the smell?
As noted above, bacteria are the most common cause of bad breath, they form what is known as plaque.
Bacteria reproduce at a tremendous speed, and if they find ideal habitat in our mouths are added scraps here and there, bacterial reproduction is much greater.
What promotes bad breath?
In addition to the dangerous acids that lead to cavities, bacteria release volatile sulfur compounds that give off an odor. Is a characteristic of these microorganisms is reversed only when we eliminate from our mouths. Precisely for this purpose have been created countless tricks. Some, like chewing gum or mints are limited to only mask the odor. Others, however, as antibacterial mouthwashes, toothpaste, tongue cleaner or eliminate these germs, but their action is only temporary, says Dr. Pizarro.
