Dental prophylaxis is a special measure taken to prevent oral disease in healthy individuals. It is also known as primary prevention and includes reducing sugar consumption, practicing flawless oral care at home, and adhering to preventive cleanings with a dental hygienist. Combined with semi-annual dental check-ups, primary prevention ensures a healthy mouth. Disposable oral swabs are recommended for people with disabilities who need help from others to maintain oral health.
There is undeniable evidence that there is a clear link between oral hygiene and the health of the rest of the body. Preventive measures, such as regular dental exams and preventive cleanings, as well as oral swabs and flawless care at home, can greatly reduce the likelihood of oral infections and inflammation.
Disposable Oral Swabs
For people who have difficulty swallowing solid foods (dysphagia) or develop throat and oral diseases (such as cancer), disposable oral swabs can greatly promote oral hygiene. In addition, oral swabs are a perfect option for patients who are bedridden for long periods of time or have limited hand movement due to various conditions such as arthritis. Oral care swabs can also be applied for everyday use, such as when traveling or at work.
In addition, the use of disposable oral swabs is a useful tool for teaching children who are starting to learn how to brush their teeth. Oral care swabs are preferred by patients with inflamed areas in the mouth, such as the gums. The soft tip of the disposable oral swab is softer than a regular toothbrush, allowing patients to clean their mouths comfortably. The texture of the tip resembles the consistency of soft oral tissues and is comfortable to the touch.
