How Do I Prevent Gum Disease?

How Do I Prevent Gum Disease?

May 10, 2018 | Oral Hygiene - New York Offices - County Dental Group |
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is preventable. Brushing and flossing daily is the number one component in prevention and healthy oral health living. Read our tips below and contact your County Dental office today if you notice any of the warning signs listed in this blog. 

Prevent Gum Disease with These Tips


Brush your teeth. 
Brushing after meals helps remove food debris and plaque trapped between your teeth and gums. Don’t forget to include your tongue, bacteria loves to hide there. 
Floss. Flossing at least twice a day helps remove food particles and plaque between teeth and along the gum line that your toothbrush can’t quite reach.
Swish with mouthwash. Using a mouthwash can help reduce plaque and can remove remaining food particles that brushing and flossing missed.
Know your risk. Age, smoking, diet and genetics can all increase your risk for periodontal disease. If you are at increased risk, be sure to talk with your dental professional at County Dental today. We can create a unique oral maintenance plan specifically for you to help treat periodontal disease and help you maintain good oral hygiene and healthy living.

What are Warning Signs of Gum Disease? 

Contact your dentist if you show any of the following warning signs: gums that bleed easily, tender and swollen gums, persistent bad breath,  and permanent teeth loss. 

Poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, pregnancy, crooked teeth, and diabetes are factors that may cause an increased chance of developing gum disease.
