MANILA, Philippines - Be pro-active in taking care of your dental health — this was the key message OraCare Mouthrinse hoped to bring to the public’s consciousness as it joined dental professionals, health care providers, and related government agencies in celebrating National Dental Health Month last February.
As part of its advocacy, OraCare shares some facts and misconceptions about oral hygiene, interesting dental trivia, and more importantly, health risks and prevention.
Perhaps, one of the more popular statements presumes that the teeth and gums are healthy in the absence of a toothache or pain. This belief is no farther from the truth. The mouth, as the doorway to our body, is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and is, therefore, one of the dirtiest. In addition, some oral infections don’t exhibit symptoms until it’s too late. It is for this reason that regular dental visits are a must to stomp oral health diseases in their early stages.
The smart way to keep one’s mouth healthy is by using OraCare, a combination mouthwash formulated with a breakthrough active ingredient called Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide, which neutralizes volatile sulfur compounds, the source of strong mouth odors in the mouth. It is a sugar-free and alcohol-free mouthwash that provides sting-free mouth-rinsing and does not stain the teeth.
