Abstract

Background: The two most common causes of tooth loss are periodontal disease (gum disease) and dental caries (tooth decay); dental plaque is a major contributing factor to the development of these disorders. One way to practice effective oral hygiene is to regularly clean your teeth to remove dental plaque. Although it is frequently taken for granted, dental hygiene is connected to every area of our lives. Our oral cavity serves as a window into our overall health. It may exhibit symptoms of a general infection or malnutrition. Dental hygiene is vital regardless of age, whether you are nine or ninety-nine.
Aim and Objective: The study's objectives were to evaluate the value of oral hygiene and go over the methods for raising different degrees of oral hygiene status.
Conclusion: A person's quality of life may be impacted by poor dental hygiene if they experience pain and discomfort during meals, low self-esteem, or difficulty sleeping due to tooth caries. Several things need to be done in India to improve oral hygiene, including holding numerous camps and awareness campaigns. These are crucial because people in rural regions sometimes underestimate the value of good oral hygiene.
