Effectively Preventing Gum Disease
2
  • Gum disease is a leading problem in Dentistry. A
    number of people lose their teeth to gum disease
    because many fail to realize how important it is
    to keep gums healthy before it is too late. Most
    people are only concerned about the health of
    their teeth

3
  • and they focus all their attention on it, not
    knowing that the life of the teeth rely much on
    the health of the soft tissues.
  • The gums and all the other structures of the
    periodontium are important. You maintain the
    health of the gums,

4
  • the periodontal fibers and the alveolar bone
    because they keep the teeth stable in the jaw.
    You maintain the health of the gums because the
    aesthetics and function of the teeth rely on it.

Perform good oral hygiene practices.
  • Ones best defense against oral disease is to be
    more vigilant with take care of the condition of
    the oral cavity. Everyone is encouraged to
    perform good oral hygiene measures on a regular
    basis, so that plaque is kept away and

  • disease is prevented. You have to brush, floss,
    rinse your mouth clean every after you eat or at
    least twice a day to get rid of bacteria that
    causes gum disease.

Eat healthy food.
  • The food you take into your mouth affects the
    health of your oral cavity. If you take so much
    of the bad, your gums will suffer and your teeth
    will suffer with it. Plaque is the most important
    culprit in gum disease and sweets or carbohydrate

8
  • based foods are very good plaque formers in the
    mouth. Preventing gum disease should involve
    avoiding the intake of such foods. You eat more
    of what is good for your teeth such as fruits,
    vegetables, nuts and dairy so that oral diseases
    could be avoided.

9
See the dentist regularly.
  • There are two phases of gum disease gingivitis
    is a reversible condition that can still be
    reverted to normal, but once the condition has
    already crossed to periodontitis, the problem is
    more serious and the patients chance of
    achieving success is less.

10
  • Periodontitis is an irreversible condition
    involving the loss of bone and as with most
    disease conditions, early detection is ones best
    chance. When you see the dentist regularly, early
    signs of gum disease are going to be detected so
    treatment will be provided right away.

11
  • Preventing gum disease requires hard work and
    dedication. Before any diagnosis, it will be
    essential that proper preventive measures are
    forwarded to control the onset of bigger
    problems.
