Having healthy teeth is not just for good for your appearance but your health as well. Your mouth is the window to rest of the body and so it should be clean and healthy. Having sparkly white teeth and able to chew food easily without any discomfort is more than just healthy lifestyle, its healthy living.

WHO has recognized poor oral health as a significant burden across the world? Most of the policies introduced by the government face failure as policies contain inadequate information. Shortage of registered medical facilities and qualified nurses in rural as well as urban areas demotes oral health. Moreover, the attitude of people is shaped by their beliefs in non-reliable sources which lead to ignored dental health.

However, government and non-government institutions and facilities are providing their support towards a better oral health. One such facility is Shreyas Dental Clinic in Ahmedabad.

How Can You Have a Good Oral Health?

1-Improvement Your Daily Regime

Teenagers with braces should use special brushes and tools prescribed by doctors. Most of us believe that mouthwash is a luxury. But believe it or not, it is a necessity. Mouthwash makes sure no bacteria are left inside your mouth, especially in the areas not reachable by the toothbrush.
