Taking care of your gums starts with maintaining a good oral hygiene routine at home. Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is a bacterial infection that harms the soft tissues and can lead to bone damage if left untreated. This condition often progresses silently without noticeable pain, so regular check-ups at our clinic are essential to ensure your gums and teeth remain healthy.
Daily brushing and flossing play a crucial role in keeping your mouth clean and reducing the risk of gum disease. It’s important to brush for about two to three minutes at least twice a day, focusing on the gum line. Using a fluoride toothpaste can help protect against cavities while flossing removes food particles trapped between your teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach.
During your visits to our office, we review your oral health and suggest adjustments to your daily care routine if needed. Our experienced team can create a tailored plan for you to follow at home, ensuring consistent care.
