On this World Oral Health Day, SBS Hindi finds out what one must do to maintain good oral health.
World Oral Health Day is celebrated every year on 20th March to highlight the importance of oral health for a healthy body.
“It’s never too early or too late to start looking after your oral health,” Melbourne based Dentist Dr Ruchika Gupta told SBS Hindi.
The general impression is brushing twice a day is enough to maintain good oral health.
Dr Gupta recommends eating a healthy diet, particularly one low in sugar, avoiding tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption.
According to The Australian Dental Association, a regular dental check-up will help.
"Parents should instil good oral health habits in children early on to help ensure healthy mouths and healthy bodies to help children succeed.
“If you have good oral health it will also have a positive impact on your general health and well-being,” says Dr Gupta.
