At Home Dental Care
Uncategorized
At home, you can practice good oral hygiene:
1.Brush twice a day for at least two minutes, using fluoridated toothpaste.
2. Floss daily to remove plaque from places your toothbrush can’t reach.
3. Eat a healthy diet to provide the nutrients necessary (vitamins A and C, in particular) to prevent gum disease.
4.Avoid cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, which are known to contribute to gum disease and oral cancer.
5.Visit Dr.Thomas K Paulose (Dr.Nechupadam Dental, Marine Drive, Ernakulam) regularly for cleanings and exams. This is one of
the most effective ways to detect the early signs of gum disease.
