water intake for oral health!!!

********Drink Plenty Water*******

Water your mouth everyday plenty ,to make it healthy,not to make it grow like plants,but to prevent it from falling due to less oral health!!!!

A dry mouth represents the ideal home for odor causing bacteria which flourish in this type of environment. Saliva normally keeps the mouth moist. Additionally, saliva helps wash away the food particles bacteria feed on and dissolves odorous volatile sulfur compounds. Actions which dry the mouth or reduce saliva flow can increase bad breath odor. These include:

• The use of prescription medications including antihistamines and decongestants
• Excessive talking
• Exercising
• Dieting
• Drinking alcohol or using mouthwashes containing a high amount of alcohol
• Smoking

By drinking water we stimulate saliva flow, wash away left-over food particles, and moisten the mouth making it less hospitable to odor causing bacteria.
