The Power of Prevention and Good Oral Health
Keeping up with your oral hygiene is necessary for not only preventing a dental emergency but also detecting one early. Any concerns you have regarding your oral health should be brought up to your dentist's attention during your next dental check-up.
Remember to brush with either a medium-bristled to a soft-bristled toothbrush, two to three times a day, floss and check your mouth for any swelling or bleeding.
Gingivitis is a common condition that can be easily prevented with good oral hygiene as well as cavities, tooth infections and oral health conditions.
