Oral hygiene is a set of practices designed toeliminate the plaque that forms naturally and permanently on the surface of teeth. Good oral hygiene helps combat halitosis (bad breath) and periodontal diseases such as gingivitis, caused by the presence of bacteria. Oral hygiene keeps your mouth clean, healthy and fresh.

How do I choose the right oral care products?

Cavities, canker sores, gingivitis or periodontitis: all these common oral diseases are linked to a lack oforal hygiene.

Oral hygiene is a combination of actions designed to keep the mouth clean, healthy and in good condition. It's based on daily habits such as brushing teeth and tongue after every meal, flossing or using an interdental brush, and mouthwash.

brush at least 2 times a day,
using an electric toothbrush is more effective at removing plaque
choose the right toothbrush and eat a healthy, balanced diet.
choose the right toothpaste for your needs
visit your dentist regularly...

Once you've got your toothbrush, it's all about doing the right thing. The Union Française de la Santé bucco-dentaire recommends a 4-point brushing routine for children aged 9 and over.

First, brush the upper and lower jaws separately.
Brush teeth and gums in a rotating, rolling motion;
At the same time, angle the toothbrush at 45°.
Finally, follow a precise path so you don't miss a single nook or cranny of your mouth, or a single tooth!

Don't forget to replace your toothbrush every three months, as the bristles wear out. It's important to rinse your brush thoroughly after each use, and place it in an upright position to dry. If several toothbrushes are stored together, make sure they don't come into contact with each other to avoid contamination.

In addition to tooth decay, gum disease, or periodontal disease, is the main oral health problem for adults. This is inflammation of the gums caused by the accumulation of plaque and tartar. The main cause is plaque, the whitish substance that accumulates on your teeth. If plaque is not removed daily by brushing, it becomes increasingly harmful. Plaque bacteria are responsible for gum inflammation, loss of tooth-supporting bone and tartar build-up.

Good daily brushing, flossing and/or using interdental brushes is the best way to combat periodontal disease.

How can we encourage children to brush their teeth?

Toothbrushing isn't always easy for young children, but it's important to make it part of their routine. With the electric brush, brushing often becomes a game for the child, making this moment easier and more enjoyable for everyone. What's more, electric brushes remove more plaque than manual brushes, not least because the timer on these brushes encourages them to stick to the recommended two-minute brushing routine. It's not always easy to get children to brush their teeth, and yet it's so important! Here are a few tips to make those few minutes more enjoyable for everyone.
