For most people, gum disease is entirely preventable with the right care. The best way to prevent it is by maintaining excellent oral hygiene habits at home: brushing every morning and night, and ideally after lunch, and flossing daily. However, even with diligent home care, some people still struggle with gum problems. For example, if your saliva produces a lot of tartar, brushing and flossing alone won’t remove it.

That’s why, in addition to good home care, it’s crucial to see a dentist regularly. There are certain issues, like tartar buildup, that simply can’t be addressed at home. By combining strong daily habits with regular dental visits, you can significantly reduce your risk of gum disease. Let us help you stay on top of your oral health and keep gum disease at bay.
