Doing your part at home to keep gum disease at bay.
Having proper dental care habits at home can help maintain your dental health and prevent periodontal/gum disease from developing. Good at-home dental practices include brushing your teeth thoroughly at least twice daily for three minutes. It would help if you also floss daily. Whenever possible, floss after each meal. Use as a mouthwash to help kill germs. Buy toothpaste and toothbrushes that are ADA approved. By having good dental habits at home and seeing your dentist regularly, you will be able to maintain healthy teeth and gums and keep your dental care cost low.
