Prevention

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

• Avoid sugary foods that will lead to increased plaque formation.
