How to keep your gums healthy

Woman with gum inflammation, closeupWhat does having a healthy smile mean to you? Does it mean having a beautiful smile that is bright and vibrant? Does it mean having fresh breath? Does it mean keeping the smile free from periodontal disease and tooth decay? No matter what you associate with having a healthy smile, it comes down to taking good care of both the gums and teeth. Your smile is the first impression you give to others, so make it a great one!

How to keep the smile healthy

The primary goal of keeping the smile healthy is to avoid problems such as gum disease or tooth decay. Cavities and periodontal disease are both preventable issues, meaning that with proper care and attention to the smile, patients can avoid these conditions. Once they develop, they require the assistance of a dental provider to manage appropriate. At Golden Dental Solutions in Golden, Colorado, our professionals work closely with patients to educate them on the steps needed to keep up their oral health and wellness. Drs. Nancy Gill, Dallas Kenson, and Evelyn Qi encourage patients to consider the following tips and recommendations for a healthier, more beautiful smile:

  • Brush and floss the teeth and gums to remove food particles and avoid the development of plaque and bacteria within the mouth.
  • Maintain the appropriate level of fluoride. Fluoride can be found in toothpastes, mouthwashes, and even city water and can strengthen natural tooth enamel.
  • Limit snacks in-between meals, especially those high in sugars and acids, such as candies and sodas.
  • Quit the use of tobacco, including chewing and smoking tobacco, which may significantly increase one’s risk of developing oral cancer.
  • Use a mouthwash to take an extra step towards a healthier smile.
  • Visit the dentist regularly, at least every six months as recommended by the American Dental Association.
  • Call the dentist as soon as changes in your smile occur to get a proper diagnosis and to discuss treatments.
