Gum Disease<\/strong> can affect more than just our oral health. The American Dental Association states, \u201cThere is evidence that bacteria in the mouth which are associated with gum disease<\/strong> may be linked to heart disease, artery blockages and stroke.\u201d <\/p>\n

The following tips can help you to prevent gum disease<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Difficulty: Easy
\nTime Required: Daily Routine
\nHere’s How:<\/p>\n

\u2022Brush your teeth properly twice a day. Brushing your teeth thoroughly removes plaque from the surface before it hardens into calculus.
\n\u2022Use a fluoride toothpaste. Using a toothpaste with fluoride helps to prevent decay.
\n\u2022Floss your teeth daily. Flossing is the only way to remove plaque from in between your teeth that a toothbrush can\u2019t reach.
\n\u2022Use a mouth rinse. An antimicrobial mouth rinse can provide extra help in controlling plaque. Listerine is a good choice and has been
\n approved by the American Dental Association.
\n\u2022Visit your dentist for regular check ups. Visiting your dentist on a regular basis is the best way to make sure that your teeth and gums
\n stay healthy. <\/p>\n
