Most people tend to overlook their gums when it comes to oral health and focus on getting a bright white smile instead. However, healthy teeth requires healthy gums.
Preventive measures:
Brushing the teeth properly – at least twice daily using soft bristle tooth brush and a fluoride paste.
Choosing the right tooth paste – fluoride with ADA seal
Floss daily – especially inter proximally
Rinse your mouth out with care
Use mouthwash – recommended by the dentist.
Get regular checks – semiannually
Balanced diet
To sum up, prevention is better than cure if few lifestyle modifications are acclimated to our routine.
