Market Overview
Oral care is the process of keeping your teeth, gums, mouth, and tongue clean. The importance of oral healthcare is that it helps to prevent rising of cavities, caries, and all kinds of dental diseases. Other hygienic habits such as brushing teeth every meal and the practice of going to the dentist to have the teeth cleanings are important/essential in ensuring good oral hygiene. Brushing is not alone because flossing is also a primary concern for killing the bacteria that infest the teeth. This is because a tooth brush cannot pass through the dentition and reach the area between the teeth for cleaning; this is only achieved by a tooth pick. Brushing your teeth and flossing your teeth after meals are considered as the most important measures that should be taken to avoid the development of such diseases as tooth decay, gingivitis or periodontal disease, and halitosis (bad breath) caused by the plaques in the mouth.
Oral hygiene is important not only to prevent diseases like tooth decay or gingivitis but also to eliminate bad breath. In this way the role of oral care in overall health is getting more attention especially in terms of preventing serious chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease that is the number one cause of death globally and diabetes. Oral care products, like toothpaste and toothpaste rinses; also oral hygienists services for dental flosses & the specialty treatments are on the rise. Frequent brushing of the teeth and the use of mouth washes and flosses are some factors that help in defeating halitosis and ensuring that no odour producing bacteria accumulates in the oral cavity.
