Gum Disease - How to prevent?

What can I do to prevent gum disease?

Prevention is always better than cure. Generally, gum treatment cannot replace the support your teeth have already lost. You can do the following to prevent gum disease:

  • Brush and clean between your teeth twice daily
  • Visit your family dentist twice a year for a check-up and professional cleaning
  • Do not smoke
  • If you have diabetes, ensure that it is under control
