One thing that we neglect the most is “maintaining” proper dental hygiene. Right from not brushing twice a day to skipping regular dental checkups, people across the world, from kids to senior citizens, take their dental hygiene for granted. We are brought up in a culture where people prefer going to the doctor or a dentist only when there is a pain. Dentists across the world insist on having a routine checkup once in six months normally, but up to 4 visits based on the oral condition. And when this becomes a regular six-monthly activity of 30 mins, you will not only have strong and clean set of teeth, but also prevent critical illnesses that perceivably don’t appear related to dental issues – such as muscular pain in the back, spondylosis and heart diseases.
