Lesson Overview

1.6 – Oral Care and Dental Health: Your mouth is the gateway to your whole body’s health, making oral care a top priority. Brushing twice daily removes plaque that causes cavities and gum disease. Flossing clears food between teeth, preventing decay and bad breath. Using fluoride toothpaste strengthens enamel and protects against acids from food. Regular dental visits catch small issues before they become painful or expensive. Clean teeth improve speech clarity and confidence when smiling or talking. Good habits also reduce bacteria that can affect the heart and digestion. Mouthwash adds freshness and kills hidden germs. Oral hygiene is both physical and social care—it helps you eat comfortably and communicate without worry. Maintaining your smile through discipline teaches lifelong accountability for your appearance and well-being.
