Preventing gum disease
There are a number of ways that you can look after your teeth to avoid gum disease:
- Brush twice a day, with an end-rounded soft-bristled toothbrush, or an electric toothbrush
- Change your toothbrush regularly , and at least every three months as recommended by dentists.
- Floss daily to remove plaque in between teeth, in areas that are hard to reach with a toothbrush.
- Use a toothpaste that contains anti-bacterial and anti-tartar ingredients.
- Visit your dentist regularly – every six months – for a check-up and professional cleaning.
