My Childhood and Our Practice of Good Dental Hygiene

Growing up under the roof of a military father, dental hygiene has been my Papa's strong advocacy at home. We were taught to brush our teeth every morning, after eating and before going to sleep. I even joined dental campaigns from the military camps and even in our school.

I grow up having healthy gums and teeth. But as time goes by, and I grow older, the food I eat and the drinks I enjoy seems to affect my teeth's color, strength, and the health of my gums. And motherhood came, the least I expected is the time I met Oral B.

Speaking around the community of mothers, traveling and little too long conversations during business meetings and friendly talks require me to have not only clean teeth but also great dental hygiene. We always know how toothpaste brands run through media and promote fresh breath, whiter teeth and all. But, what we need now is a brand that does not only clean but also keeps your teeth to gums healthy.

What major facts make Gum and Enamel Repair toothpaste on top of the list?

1. Oral-B's Gum and Enamel Repair toothpaste has unique ActivRepairTM technology, clinically proven to neutralize bacteria on the gum line, and even keep it away afterward, too.
2.  It also repairs the damage caused to your tooth enamel by everyday wear and tear and continues to protect it afterward. 
3. Not only that first two above, but it also helps do all this in just two weeks. 
4. Unlike common fluoride kinds of toothpaste, Oral-B Gum and Enamel Repair is made with Stabilized Stannous Fluoride Complex.

Oral-B® is the worldwide leader in the over $5 billion brushing market. Part of the Procter & Gamble Company, the brand provides manual and electric toothbrushes for children and adults, oral irrigators and interdental products, such as dental floss.

Facts for A Good Dental Hygiene

1. Dental experts recommend brushing your teeth three times a day or after every meal and visiting a professional for a dental cleaning at least twice a year. We, moms, must take note of this. Not only for our children but we need to check our dental health always!
2. The right ways to brush your teeth. At home, the right way to brush your teeth and gums is for two minutes long in a soft and circular motion
3. The right toothbrush. Toothbrushes must be right according to age as we may do harm to our gums and teeth when we are using a too big, too hard bristles or even low-quality bristles!
   
   Unlike regular toothbrushes in the market, Oral-B’s toothbrushes are made with crisscross bristles that remove 90% more plaque even in hard-to-reach areas. With the rise in popularity of detoxifying properties of charcoal in the health and beauty industries, Oral- B has harnessed its power and learned to infuse it in their Charcoal White toothbrush to help whiten your teeth in just two weeks!
4. The Additional Care we must know. Dental floss is also an essential dental care step to remove plaque from tight spaces between teeth and gums. This prevents both bacteria and plaque buildup from forming, which can potentially lead to cavities, sensitive teeth, and gum disease. Oral-B Glide Floss is lightly coated with natural wax that makes it strong, smoothly gliding, and is perfect for people with sensitive gums. It is also made from a single filament, which means it never shreds, and leaves you with a cool and clean feeling afterward.
5. Teach a child. A parent must know that teaching your child at a very young age is very important. Based on my experience, my parents educated me a lot about hygiene. And it becomes a habit-forming activity.
