General Health Information

Effective gum disease prevention
starts at home. Regular oral hygiene can help prevent plaque and
bacteria formation that causes the gum disease symptoms from
developing. Brushing alone is not enough to keep plaque and bacteria
from building up. Flossing can clean the areas that brushing can’t
reach, such as those in between teeth. Efficient flossing is one way to
strengthen at-home gum disease prevention. Aside from brushing and
flossing after every meal, the use of mouthwash is highly recommended
to wash away bacteria and food particles left in the mouth. Finally,
visit your dentist to prevent symptoms of gum disease from advancing
and ensure teeth and gum health is maintained.
