You must have heard that precaution is better than cure and this is exactly the kind of approach that we are going for. Gum disease is a simple catching disease that almost everyone deals once in their lives with. Dental implants are more common than you may think and this is why we are here to help you stay safe and away from them in the first place.

Here are a few tips to help you prevent gum diseases:

• First and obvious point is brushing. Many of us are doing that wrong since the dawn of time. Brushing twice a day does not ensure healthy brushing unless you do it properly for almost 3 minutes each time. Go deep in mouth and get things clean, quicker and simpler. Also, don’t forget flossing, that also plays an important role.
• The next thing you need to take care of is your tooth paste. Make sure your toothpaste has fluoride in it. Your own dentist or gum specialist Dubai can also recommend you a few brands that are popular with this ingredient and you can choose them for a healthier approach.
• What goes with toothpaste? Tooth brush. Your tooth brush should not be a very harsh bristle one because that can cause irritation and gums to bleed without any particular reason. Also, don’t forget to change your tooth brush every 3 months because used and worn out can also have the same effect on gums.
• Avoid junk food as much as possible. This is very important because junk food and sugar have a huge impact on teeth and gums. Try incorporating fruits and veggies in your diet more often and stay away from heavy fried foods. A bacterium loves to feed on such things and we all hate bacteria – better keep them away.
• Stop smoking. You have heard this many times and read this at many places but what you need to know is that smoking is slowly going to kill you through your mouth first. Cigarettes and tobacco is very harsh for mouth even before it goes down your lungs.

Apart from this all remember to keep your routine checkups under check because only a professional can determine true health of your gums. Ask them what else you can change in your habits and lifestyle. Visit www.drluisgavin.com/our-services/dental-implants for further details.
