Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile and strong teeth. Following these expert tips can help you maintain optimal gum health:
1. Brush Twice Daily
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean along the gumline without causing irritation.
2. Floss Regularly
Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gumline, areas your toothbrush can’t reach.
3. Use Mouthwash
An antimicrobial mouthwash helps reduce bacteria and plaque, supporting healthier gums.
4. Eat a Balanced Diet
A diet rich in vitamins C and D, along with calcium, supports gum and tooth health.
5. Quit Smoking
Smoking weakens your immune system, making it harder for your gums to fight off infections.
6. Visit Your Periodontist
Regular checkups with a periodontist can catch gum problems early and keep your gums healthy.
