Did you know that if gum disease is left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss?
It is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene habits, allowing plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden. If left untreated, gum disease can progress and affect the bones surrounding the gums, leading to pain and potential tooth loss. Learn more here.

Gum Disease Treatments You Can Do At Home

Treating gum disease at home involves a consistent and diligent oral care routine. It’s essential to brush your teeth at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and use an antimicrobial mouthwash. Regular dental check-ups are key, but in the meantime, you can also incorporate a healthy diet, avoid tobacco products, and be mindful of the early signs of gum disease. Remember, prevention starts at home, but professional care ensures complete treatment.
