🦷 5 Things You Can Do to Prevent Gum Disease 🦷
Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) can lead to tooth loss if ignored. Here are 5 easy steps to protect your smile:
1️⃣ Brush Twice Daily – Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Clean gently along the gumline.
2️⃣ Floss Every Day – Flossing removes plaque between teeth that brushing alone can’t reach.
3️⃣ Use Antibacterial Mouthwash – It helps reduce bacteria and inflammation.
4️⃣ Quit Smoking – Tobacco weakens your gums and makes it harder to fight infection.
5️⃣ Visit Your Dentist Regularly – Routine cleanings catch gum problems early and keep your mouth healthy.
