How to Prevent Periodontal Disease

Here are a few simple ways you can take care of your gums and prevent periodontal disease:

• Brush and floss every day, paying special attention to brush where your teeth and gums meet.
• Visit your dentist in Houston regularly for routine checkups and cleanings.
• Limit your intake of sugar rich and carb-loaded foods.
• Include gum-healthy foods in your diet: carrots, sweet potatoes, green vegetables, and fatty fishes such as salmon and tuna.
