Reducing Your Risk of Gum Disease
• Maintain a thorough home oral hygiene routine.
• Schedule recommended regular cleanings.
• Do not smoke or chew tobacco.
• Have your dentist fix any broken or misaligned fillings or other dental work.
• Be aware of clenching or grinding your teeth and seek treatment if necessary.
• Tell us if you’re taking medications – some medications exacerbate the disease.
• Tell us if you’re pregnant or have any medical conditions – these too, can affect the progress of the disease.
