- The best way to prevent gum disease is through good oral hygiene.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day, morning and night, with a soft bristle brush and ADA approved toothpaste.
- Flossing and using interdental cleaners such as proxy brushes for large gaps daily will help reduce plaque build up between and below the gums.
- Bridges must be flossed underneath to prevent gum disease around the supporting teeth.
- Dental checkup and cleanings on a 6 month bases so that dentist and hygienist can detect early signs of gum disease and remove any plaque and or tartar on the teeth.
- Do not smoke or use any form of tobacco products. These are not only known to cause oral cancer, but irritate the gum tissue.
- Eat a well balanced diet
- Take nutritional supplements
