Preventative Maintenance Key To Minimizing Periodontal Disease For Fort Lauderdale Residents

While we enjoy our practice here at the Broward Center for Laser Periodontics and Implants – and our patients as well – we are certainly happy when patients are taking the proper steps to maintaining their own periodontal health.

Your Smile Is Important!

The best way to keep periodontal disease at bay is by keeping oral bacteria in check with daily brushing and flossing as well as regular professional deep cleaning.

You want to make sure your dentist is removing tartar above and below the gum line and is also giving you proper feedback on your gums, teeth and overall dental health.

Periodontal Disease Can Be Avoided

Periodontal disease occurs when the tissues that protect and stabilize your teeth become infected.

Some quick tips for avoiding periodontal disease in the future include:

• Brushing regularly (at least 2x a day)
• Flossing daily
• Eating a healthy, balanced diet
• Getting your dental checkups and cleanings (for adults, that 2x per year)
