5 Simple Habits for Healthier Gums
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Here are five habits our dentists recommend:
1. Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled brush, angled toward the gumline.
2. Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth where a brush can't reach.
3. Use an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce plaque buildup.
4. Avoid tobacco, which significantly increases the risk of gum disease.
5. Visit your dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and checkup.
If you notice bleeding, swelling, or persistent bad breath, book a consultation with us — early treatment makes all the difference.
