Appropriate oral hygiene is an essential and effective prophylactic measure against caries and periodontal disease. The most important aids for this purpose are suitable multi-tufted short-headed tooth brushes with suitable plastic bristles and suitable tooth-pastes. By means of a rational technique, as for instance the rotation method, teeth and gum margin should be systematically cleaned for at least three minutes if at all possible after every meal. A certain massage effect is exerted on the gingivae at the same time. All other aids to oral hygiene such as toothpicks, dental floss, interdental stimulators, mouthwashes etc. are only additional aids which certainly have their special indications.
适当的口腔卫生是预防龋齿和牙周疾病的一项基本且有效的措施。为此目的，最重要的辅助工具是配有合适塑料刷毛的多束短头牙刷和合适的牙膏。通过合理的刷牙技巧，比如旋转法，饭后尽可能至少用三分钟时间系统地清洁牙齿和牙龈边缘。同时对牙龈有一定的按摩作用。所有其他口腔卫生辅助工具，如牙签、牙线、牙缝刺激器、漱口水等，都只是辅助工具，当然它们都有各自特定的适用情况。
