Gum Disease

What can I do to prevent gum disease?

Prevention is always better than cure. Generally, gum treatment cannot replace the support your teeth have already lost. You can do the following to prevent gum disease:

• Brush and clean between your teeth twice daily
• Visit your family dentist twice a year for a check-up and professional cleaning
• Do not smoke
• If you have diabetes, ensure that it is under control
