Do you spend
time chatting with your periodontist? Well, we did. We sat down with
periodontist Dr. Rice in order to see what advice she gives to patients.
Your gums are a
precious commodity that can help keep your smile looking fantastic. Don’t take
for granted you’ll always have healthy gums.
1. "Brush in
circles - not back and forth", says periodontist Dr. Denine Rice. It is critical in taking care of your gums. Back
and forth may cause recession. You have to be gentle with the tissue, they are
not made of hard enamel like your teeth. 2. Bacteria is normal in the mouth - but bacteria can grow out of control if not held in check. There are more bacteria in your mouth than there are people in the entire world. If you don’t keep brushing, flossing and visiting the dentist, this bacteria can take over in your mouth, causing you major problems down the line.
3. Flossing
can add years to your life. While flossing not only ensures the health of your
gums, it allows you to keep your teeth. Flossing ensures you keep your gums
healthy and in the best shape of your life. Bacteria and food can build up
between your teeth causing periodontal disease.
