    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately half of American adults have mild, moderate, or severe gum disease. Gum disease can cause pain, bleeding, and even tooth loss if left untreated. Fortunately, Ueno Center Dental Specialists can treat your gum disease to ensure it does not cause further complications.

     Also, your dentist may teach you a few simple tips and tricks to help prevent gum disease from taking hold and enjoy healthy, happy gums for years to come. Here are tips to keep your gums healthy and avoid gum disease.

    Brush and floss regularly

    Brushing your teeth at least twice daily and flossing at least once daily may help prevent gum disease and keep your mouth healthy. Brushing helps remove plaque and bacteria from the surface of your teeth, while flossing helps remove food particles and bacteria from between your teeth and along your gum line.

    Make sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste when you brush, and take your time to clean all surfaces of your teeth thoroughly. When you floss, be gentle and use a back-and-forth motion to remove debris between your teeth.

    Eat a healthy diet

    Your diet can affect your oral health, so ensure you eat a balanced diet rich in nutrients. Avoid sugary and acidic foods and drinks, which can erode tooth enamel and promote bacterial growth. Instead, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein.

    Calcium and vitamin D are especially important for strong teeth and healthy gums. Dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified cereals are good sources of these nutrients. Drinking plenty of water can also help wash away food particles and bacteria and keep your mouth hydrated.

    Quit smoking

    If you smoke, quitting is one of the best things you can do for your overall health, including your gum health. Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease, making it harder for your gums to heal once damaged.

    If you struggle to quit, ask your doctor or a smoking cessation specialist for help. Various tools and resources are available to help you quit smoking, from nicotine replacement therapy to support groups and counseling.

    Limit alcohol and caffeine

    While the occasional glass of wine or cup of coffee is fine, overindulging in alcohol and caffeine can increase your risk of gum disease. Both substances can dehydrate your body and lead to dry mouth, making it easier for bacteria to grow and thrive in your mouth.

    If you do enjoy alcohol or caffeine, try to limit your consumption and make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and keep your mouth moist.

    Visit your dentist regularly

    Scheduling regular visits with your dentist regularly can help prevent gum disease. Your dentist can help identify early signs of gum disease and provide personalized recommendations for keeping your gums healthy.

    During regular checkups, your dentist will also clean your teeth and remove any plaque or tartar buildup contributing to gum disease. Depending on your individual needs, your dentist may recommend additional treatments like deep cleanings or gum surgery to help restore and maintain your gum health.

     

    Call Ueno Center to book your appointment for treatment of gum disease.
