Good personal
hygiene involves
keeping all parts of
the external body
clean and healthy. It
is important for
maintaining both
physical and mental
health. 3
Introduction
• In people with poor personal hygiene, the
body provides an ideal environment for
germs to grow, leaving it vulnerable to
infection.
• On a social level, people may avoid a
person with poor personal hygiene, which
may result in isolation and loneliness.
4
Types of Personal Hygiene
Dental
• Dental hygiene involves more than just
having white teeth. A good dental
hygiene routine can help prevent issues
such as gum disease and cavities.
• It can also prevent bad breath.
●●●
5
Body
• Several million sweat glands cover the
human body. When bacteria break
down sweat, the process creates a smell
or body odor.
• Washing the body will help prevent skin
irritation, as well as removing the
bacteria that cause body odor.
●●●
6
Hand washing
• Before, during, and after preparing food
• Before eating food
• Before and after looking after anyone who is vomiting or
has diarrhea
• Before and after treating a cut or wound
• After going to the bathroom
• After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used
the toilet
• After blowing the nose, coughing, or sneezing
• After touching garbage or dirty surfaces or objects
●●●
7
Nails
• Fingernails may harbor dirt and germs,
contributing to the spread of bacteria.
• It is easier for dirt and germs to collect under
longer nails, so keeping them short can help
reduce the risk of spreading infections.
8
Maintenance of Personal Hygiene
Dental hygiene
• For a healthy mouth and smile, the American
Dental Association (ADA) recommend
brushing the teeth for 2 minutes at least
twice a day — once before breakfast and
once before bed.
• People should use an ADA-accepted fluoride
toothpaste and replace the toothbrush every
3–4 months.
●●●
9
Hand washing
• Wet the hands with clean, running water, then turn off the
tap and apply soap.
• Lather the hands by rubbing them together with the soap,
remembering to reach the backs of the hands, between the
fingers, and under the nails.
• Scrub the hands for at least 20 seconds, which a person can
time by humming the “Happy Birthday” song twice.
• Rinse the hands well under clean, running water.
• Dry the hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
●●●
10
Body
• It is advisable to shower or bathe daily, using
soap and water to rinse away dead skin cells,
oil, and bacteria.
• People can pay special attention to areas
that accumulate more sweat, such as the
armpits, in between the toes, and the groin
area.
●●●
11
Nails
• Using sanitized tools to trim the nails and
keep them short is one of the best ways to
ensure that no dirt can collect underneath
them.
• Scrubbing the underside of the nails with a
nail brush can form part of a person’s hand
washing routine.
12
Effects of Poor Personal Hygiene
• Poverty and lack of access to clean water can

both have a detrimental effect on a person’s
personal hygiene.
• While personal hygiene can cause certain
health issues, it can also be a side effect of
some of them.
• People living with Alzheimer’s disease and
other types of dementia often have poor oral
hygiene.

Hygiene Routine Tips
• Make it a habit: With daily practice, a new

habit can become a regular part of life. Choose
one area to focus on and practice until it
becomes second nature.
• Set reminders: Using the notes app on a cell
phone can be a great way to avoid forgetting
any tasks.
●●●
15
Hygiene Routine Tips
• Use rewards: A sticker chart can be a brilliant

incentive for children to maintain their personal
hygiene.
• Invest in nice toiletries: Using products that
smell good may encourage some people to
stick to their personal hygiene routine.
16
Conclusion
• Keeping the body clean has positive effects on
a person’s social life and their physical and
mental health.
• Personal hygiene is simply looking after the
body and keeping it clean and healthy.
• Developing and maintaining a personal
hygiene routine is key to having a healthy body
and mind.
