Maintaining Healthy Gums

Gum disease is one of the most common dental concerns among patients.

Improving your gum health can be beneficial to the long-term success of your smile. Try to incorporate these key tips into your lifestyle to improve your gum health.

  • Schedule regular preventive care exams with Dr. Gardner. During your biannual preventive care exam, Dr. Gardner can screen for complex dental problems like gum disease and oral cancer. Routine screenings can improve the health of your smile and may even save your life. With the results of your routine dental exam, Dr. Gardner can create a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
  • Floss your teeth regularly. Incorporating flossing into your daily oral hygiene routine can improve the health of your gums. Flossing can help remove harmful debris and bacteria from between the teeth that can lead to plaque buildup.
  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brushing your teeth can remove debris and plaque from the teeth, as well as freshen your breath.
