What you can do if have gum disease?

Here are some things you can do to treat gum disease:

1. Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush for at least two minutes each time, and make sure to brush all surfaces of your teeth, including the gum line.

2. Floss your teeth once a day using dental floss. Flossing helps to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth, where your toothbrush can’t reach.

3. Rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash after brushing and flossing. This will help to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation in your gums.

4. Avoid sugary foods and drinks. Sugar feeds the bacteria in plaque, which can worsen gum disease.

5. Quit smoking. Smoking damages the gums and makes them more susceptible to infection.

6. See your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. Your dentist can monitor your gum health and recommend treatment if needed.

7. Get gum disease treatment if you have it. Gum disease can be treated with a variety of methods, including scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotic therapy, and surgery.
