The Basics of Gum Care

Good gum care starts with the basics. The place to start is with routine brushing and flossing. Brushing twice a day and properly flossing is a strong preventive measure against gum disease. Other basic habits that help gum health include scheduling routine dental exams and regular dental cleanings. Cleanings are done as part of routine check-ups. Maintaining them removes plaque and tartar that affects gum health.
