Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'oral' (pertaining to the mouth) + 'hygiene' (cleanliness practices); together they straightforwardly denote practices to keep the mouth clean and healthy. This is a regular noun–noun compositional pattern found across many languages (e.g. Spanish 'higiene oral'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Oral hygiene comes from oral meaning 'mouth' and hygiene meaning 'care to stay healthy'. It paints a simple picture of daily brushing and flossing, so it means 'keeping the mouth, teeth, and gums clean to prevent tooth problems'.
