How can we prevent and control gum disease? (Action) 🦷💪

The key to prevention is really about daily basics done well:

• Brush twice a day for at least 2 minutes with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste 🪥

• Clean between your teeth every day with floss or interdental brushes

• See your dentist or hygienist regularly for professional cleaning to remove tartar

If you:

• Have diabetes

• Smoke

• Or already notice possible gum problems (bleeding, swollen gums, bad breath, or loose teeth)

Then regular check‑ups and follow‑up with your dentist are even more important,

so they can monitor your gums and plan proper treatment with you.👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Gum disease builds up slowly over time.

The earlier you tackle it, the easier it is to get under control; the longer you leave it, the harder it becomes to save your teeth.⚠️
