Every March 20, the world celebrates International Oral Health Day, a key day to raise awareness about the importance of oral care and its impact on our overall health.

At YOTUEL, we are committed to promoting conscious oral hygiene, highlighting the fundamental role of the oral microbiome and offering products that protect your smile naturally and effectively. 

The importance of International Oral Health Day

Oral health not only influences our appearance and confidence, but is also closely related to overall well-being.

A balanced oral microbiome helps prevent diseases such as cavities, gingivitis, and even systemic conditions such as cardiovascular problems or diabetes.

This day reminds us of the importance of adopting healthy habits to maintain a strong, disease-free smile.

8 key tips for good oral health

To celebrate this day, we have compiled eight essential tips that will help you improve your oral hygiene and maintain a radiant smile.

1. Maintain the balance of the oral microbiom
   A healthy oral microbiome is essential to prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria. Choose products that respect and care for the natural bacterial balance of your mouth.
2. Proper brushing and flossing
   Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a quality toothpaste and use dental floss to remove food debris and plaque in hard-to-reach areas.
3. Avoid excess sugar and acidic foods
   A diet rich in sugar and acidic foods can wear down enamel and promote the appearance of cavities. Prioritise a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and dairy products.
4. Hydrate yourself properly
   Saliva plays a crucial role in protecting teeth and gums. Stay well hydrated to promote dental production and prevent dry mouth.
5. Have regular dental check-ups
   Visit the dentist at least once a year to detect problems in their early stages and avoid more invasive treatments in the future.
6. Avoid products with harsh ingredients
   Some products contain SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and other harsh agents that can alter the oral microbiome and cause tooth sensitivity. Opt for gentle toothpastes and formulations without irritating components.
7. Consider using probiotics
   Eating foods rich in probiotics, such as yogurt or kefir, helps balance the oral microbiota and reduce the presence of harmful bacteria in the mouth.
8. Smile more
   Smiling not only improves your mood, but also reduces stress and strengthens the immune system. A healthy smile is synonymous with well-being and happiness.
