Your gums protect the roots of your teeth and hold them in place. Keeping them healthy is just as important as caring for the teeth themselves.
- Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily to remove plaque from between teeth.
- Eat a balanced diet and limit sugary snacks and drinks.
- Avoid tobacco, a major cause of gum disease.
- Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups.
Bleeding or swollen gums are early warning signs. If you notice them, book an appointment with us.
