Five Ways To Prevent Gum Disease:

Brush 2 times a day with an electric toothbrush - The round head on an electric brush pulsates and rotates faster than we can manually, for a better clean, but is also gentler on the gums than manual brushes.
Floss everyday or use interdental brushes – removes the plaque stuck in between the teeth and under the gum line.
Do not smoke – Smoking is a leading cause of aggressive gum disease.
See a professional hygienist – For an unbeatable professional clean to remove all the plaque, even in the hard to reach areas.
Control any and all non-dental conditions, especially diabetes and heart disease – Uncontrolled diabetes and heart disease is linked with gum disease.
