Prevention of Gum Disease Important to our Florida Patients

A Quick Look at Better Oral Care

The prevention of gum disease is a concern for many people. 1) They just want to keep their teeth and gums healthy and 2.) they really don’t like the idea of having to go to the dentist for repair work – or to a periodontal specialist to do advanced repair work.

The patients who come to visit our offices in Deerfield Beach and Fort Lauderdale are generally already dealing with issues related to advanced gum disease (periodontal disease).

Their treatment might involve scaling and root planing, consultations for dental implants and LANAP laser gum surgery.

So, how do you lower your risk of gum disease – and having to visit a dentist for severe issues with your teeth and gums? Pretty simple really. By taking preventative measures like those outlined on the infographic below you can reduce your chances of gum disease dramatically.

We found this infographic at WaterPik.com and thought we’d share it with you here on our blog.

5 Steps to Prevention

  • Brush your teeth at least 2x each day
  • Floss your teeth at least 1x each day
