What If Your Mouth Was Your house?

Would you be happy with the state that it's in right now? If you got a call from an old friend who claims to be in town and wants to stop by for a visit, would you start panicking and thinking of excuses about how busy you are and why they have such bad timing by trying to meet up "today"? Let's say there was a lady (or a guy) that you were interested in, would you invite her over for dinner or would you be afraid to turn her off with bad hygiene? All in all, if your mouth was your house, would you be happy to live in it? Now if this was your typical advertorial, this paragraph would probably be inviting you to put yourself in your teeth's shoes. Whatever that may mean. Then the writer might have started to mention dental floss, toothbrushes and toothpaste brands that you should consider using - to maintain oral hygiene - if you want to keep your house (which is actually your mouth) clean, paving way for strong teeth. But clearly it's not one of those pieces of writing. The focus of this article is rooted only in the concept of personal hygiene. Considering the fact that most of us wouldn't even wear a shirt (or a pair of pants) that has a visible stain, in public, for example. How come it's so easy for people to talk to others without brushing their teeth thoroughly? That is for at least 2 minutes in one session. It also includes a few moments to floss and gargle with an alcohol-free mouth wash. Why do people have an issue with hosting friends or family in an untidy house if they don't mind kissing their loved ones with an unhealthy mouth? A healthy mouth is like a clean house. It releases fresh breath like a clean house keeps in fresh air. It gives no room for parasitical bacteria to invade and cause problems for your healthy gums and strong teeth, just like a clean house is no home for cockroaches, flies and other insects that inhabit filthy environments. And as much as constant cleaning and attention to detail is your ticket to a clean house, routine oral care is a one-way train to oral health and definitely a bad breath cure. In conclusion, take care of your mouth just like you take care of your house - in fact, give your mouth more attention because it goes everywhere with you. Oral care is the best gift you can give to your body. Simmply because oral health is vital to your overall well-being. Rate this Article
