HEALTHY MOUTH
We all have an idea of what an unhealthy mouth looks like; cavities, gingivitis, loose teeth etc.
At OCD, we think it's important to also show what a healthy mouth looks like!
Healthy gums
*gums should be pink and firm
*no gum recession
*not sore or tender
Oral Tissues
*Tongue-Palate -Inner mouth should be healthy and free from infection
Teeth Alignment
*Teeth should be aligned properly which not only looks good, but aids in the function of the teeth
White Strong Teeth
*shows good oral health
Restorations (crowns, fillings, implants etc)
*good condition of any restorative treatment is also a sign of a healthy mouth
Tongue
*a healthy tongue should be pink in colour and the surface should be flat, smooth and clean in appearance
BREATH
*a healthy mouth should have naturally pleasant breath
A great way to achieve a healthy mouth, visit your dentist and hygienist regularly!
