Gum disease affects millions of people, but it is largely preventable with consistent care. Total Wellness Dental emphasizes daily habits, regular checkups, and professional cleanings to keep gums healthy and reduce the risk of infection.
Early prevention protects your teeth, helps avoid discomfort, and supports a confident, long-lasting smile. Simple steps every day can make a big difference in maintaining strong gums and overall oral health.
Protecting Your Gums
Preventing gum disease starts with a combination of at-home care and professional support.
Here’s what you can do to maintain healthy gums:
- Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush.
- Floss one time a day to remove plaque and debris between teeth.
- Use an antibacterial mouth rinse to reduce bacteria.
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
- Avoid tobacco products, which increase gum disease risk.
- Visit Total Wellness Dental regularly for exams and cleanings.
Following these habits consistently helps prevent inflammation, bleeding, and more serious gum issues. Regular professional care allows our dental team to catch early signs of disease and provide treatment before it progresses.
