Good oral care will help reduce gingivitis and gum disease not just during hormonal swings, but throughout your life. What does good oral care look like? The American Dental Association recommends the following daily home care routine:
- Brush your teeth twice a day for two-minutes or more with a fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily
- Rinse your mouth daily with an alcohol-free, ADA approved mouthwash
- Chew sugar-free gum after eating and between brushings to increase saliva
- See your dental health provider twice a year for cleanings and general check-ups
- Talk to your dentist about any concerns in your oral health or how your lifestyle or health plays a role in your oral care
