Gum disease can be prevented with good oral care practices. This includes, based on the American Dental Association recommendations:
- Brush your teeth twice a day
- Floss your teeth daily
- Rinse with an ADA approved mouthwash daily
- Chew sugar free gum between meals
- See your dentist at least twice a year
As the connection between gum disease and other diseases grows, there is no better time to begin, continue, or recommit to a healthy oral health routine. Begin today by scheduling an appointment with your dentist to ensure you are doing all you can to prevent gum disease and reduce your risk for cancer and other illness.
