What Is Gum Disease?
8. Prevention
Gum disease is like pretty much every other disease in that the best way to treat it is to prevent it from happening in the first place. This can be achieved through regular brushing and flossing and, although this is not 100% effective, it can still decrease your chances of getting gum disease significantly.
Even people that do take good care of their teeth cannot completely remove plaque and tartar. This makes it a good idea to make regular visits to your dentist so they can give a more thorough cleaning. This also gives your dentist an opportunity to spot problems early on, and this helps to prevent conditions from getting too serious.
