Gum disease might start small (like a bit of redness or bleeding when you brush), but if ignored, it can cause bigger issues, like loose teeth or worse. However, it’s easy to stop gum disease before it starts.
Brush Like You Mean It
Brush those teeth twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Be sure to pay extra attention to your gumline—that’s where sneaky plaque loves to hide. Morning and bedtime brushing keeps bacteria from throwing a party in your mouth.
Floss Is Your BFF
Flossing gets into those tight spaces between your teeth and clears out food and plaque hiding under the gumline.
Swish Away the Bad Stuff
Rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash to freshen things up and wipe out leftover bacteria.
See Your Dentist (We Miss You!)
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are the ultimate gum disease defense. Professional cleanings tackle tartar build-up, and your dentist can spot early signs of trouble before things get serious.
Eat Well and Ditch Bad Habits
What you put in your body matters. Load up on crunchy veggies, drink water, and enjoy foods packed with vitamins to keep your gums strong. Oh, and skip tobacco—it’s not doing your gums any favors.
