Why is Mouth Care and Oral Hygiene Important?

Effective oral hygiene practices (mouth care) are necessary to ensure the maintenance of effective oral health through the removal of bacterial plaque, dry mouth care and denture care. Good oral health is important for eating and drinking, communication, the absence of pain and infection, and paramount for dignity and comfort. There is increasing evidence linking poor oral health to systemic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and hospital acquired pneumonia.
