- Brushing teeth twice a day, thoroughly. Bad brushing technique can worsen gum disease. Brush your teeth in a circular motion. This helps the bristles clean out any debris in the gaps between the gums and teeth.
- Properly flossing at lease once a day. This may seem easy but there are some who don’t do it well. Ask your dentist if you’re doing it correctly to avoid further damage.
- Use toothpaste or antiseptic mouthwash recommended by dentist. It can help some people who are having trouble with the amount of plaque and bacteria to control in their mouths.
- Regularly visit your dentist for cleaning and chekups. Do it every 6 months but there are some who needs frequent visits.
- Make sure to eat healthy foods and a good balanced diet with sufficient amount of vitamins and nutrients. It is harder for some to fight off infection and heal if they are vitamin deficient.
- Quit smoking! It is one of the most significant factor risk for periodontal disease.

An electric toothbrush uses electric power to move the brush head and offers maximum cleaning. It normally operates in an oscillating pattern. These toothbrushes are often called ‘rotary’ toothbrushes. Although the first generation of this superb gadget was conceived in 1880 and sold reliable in 1939 (in Switzerland), took nearly 3 decades for the invention to obtain popularity. Broxodent widely used in the U.S. in the sixties was a rotating electric toothbrush introduced by Squibb Pharmaceutical at the centennial of the American Dental Association in 1960. These were originally created to patients with limited motor skills, as well as patients with problems such as those with orthodontic braces.
