A healthy and clean mouth is important to be able to eat, speak and laugh properly. And to be able to get comfortably close to other people. Proper chewing is also good for your mental capacities and memory because it stimulates the flow of blood to the brain. Poor oral hygiene also increases the risk of pneumonia and cardiovascular disease. Poor oral hygiene can disrupt the blood sugar levels of people with diabetes.
Proper brushing removes plaque.
Plaque is a whitish/yellowish layer of a mixture of food particles, saliva and bacteria. It accumulates between and on the teeth and molars and along the gum line.
Removing plaque prevents cavities, inflammation, fungal infections, and pain. It also gives you a healthy appearance and fresh breath. Who doesn’t want that?!
The toolkit is meant for those who are vulnerable, dependent on care, and have a reduced ability to maintain oral hygiene or undergo dental treatment.
