One of the best ways to prevent periodontal (gum) disease is by maintaining good oral hygiene at home. Brushing at least twice a day and flossing regularly are essential. Using a Waterpik can also be beneficial, as it helps clean deep between the teeth and along the gumline, reaching areas that brushing and flossing might miss.
In addition to home care, regular professional cleanings are important. We typically recommend hygiene visits twice a year to monitor your oral health and catch any signs of gum disease early. Routine checkups allow us to address potential issues before they progress, helping you maintain healthy gums and teeth.
