One of the main ways to prevent teeth from loosening is by reducing the chances of gum disease from developing. Signs of gum disease include swollen or bleeding gums, gum recession and persistent bad breath. You can prevent periodontal disease by:
- Maintaining a healthy diet and trying to avoid sticky foods.
- Attending regular dental checkups to make sure your mouth is healthy.
- Ensuring good oral hygiene to improve tooth and gum health – part of this involves brushing your teeth twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste, antibacterial mouthwash and flossing daily.
By doing the above, you can help to maintain strong and healthy teeth.
