How much do we know about oral care and hygiene ?
This morning I was in a meeting with a Prof from UKM Dentistry Department, and before our meeting commenced, she gave us valuable knowledge about our mouth !
You are not going to believe this, maybe I am ignorant about this information, at any moment, there is 200 million of bacteria in our mouth, consisting of 30 species. Some of the bacteria are good ones, and they should stay inside our mouth. And we asked Prof how to prevent bad breathe in the morning, we are convinced by the power of commercial such like using Listerine, and this is just temporarily measure to freshen the breathe. And in fact if you rinsed more than twice a day, you will get dry mouth, which mean you are loosing the natural lubricant !
We joked about the passing of bacteria when you are kissing someone...haha ! Hopefully only the good bacteria are passed on !
So, the best is to keep our oral hygiene well. For example, brushing your teeth after every meal, she commented Malaysian are general less hygienic in this case as we love to leave the after food taste in our mouth !
When you wake up and you realised your breathe is bad, it is also a sign of your toxic level in your body is high !
So, do something about it, don't wait till you feel the tooth ache and it is never too late to start now even you are already using denture.
A smile can brighten the darkest day.
A smile is a powerful weapon;
you can even break ice with it.

Passing good and bad bacteria reminds me of somthing funny that my housemate told me before, The gf got a flu and cough, then they kiss suddenly her yellow or green mucus, He just suck it into his mouth, after this incident he had the phobia of kissing..

We felt strange and funny after what we have learned and immediately we feel like wearing a mask..:-)
