Prevention is a major concern when it comes to our oral health. The quicker an issue can be recognized, the better the odds are that it can be successfully treated or kept from advancing. Gingivitis for instance, is the earliest stage of gum disease and is routinely brought under control with a more concentrated routine of professional teeth cleanings along with an upgrade to the patient’s daily home care habits; an antibacterial mouthwash is often recommended.
