Whenever we talk about love, our mental images wander between closeness, sharing, gestures of affection and even couple routines. But in this scenario of perfect love, there is a rarely discussed topic: oral health in a couple is not totally individual, because oral hygiene in couples reduces the risk of caries and plaque, as we will see below. <\/p>

However, it is not about alarmism or turning normal gestures into risk. It is about understanding a simple fact: plaque and caries do not appear out of nowhere, and when there are active signs in one of the partners, the oral environment of the couple can become more vulnerable.<\/strong> <\/p>

Talking about oral hygiene as a couple is therefore an intelligent and preventive way to reduce risk, improve habits and avoid the normalization of symptoms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
