Gum disease can be prevented through proper prevention, early diagnosis, and timely treatment.
Proper hygiene of teeth and gums plays a key role in the prevention of periodontitis. Therefore, the use of soft toothbrushes, dental floss, interdental brushes, and oral irrigators is recommended. Professional plaque and tartar removal, polishing and air polishing of teeth at the dental clinic also play a key role in prevention and are recommended twice a year.
Untreated gum inflammation, teeth grinding, smoking, genetic predispositions, hormonal imbalances in women, certain medications, diabetes, and stress are the most important risk factors for the development of periodontitis. If you identify with these risk groups, we recommend a preventive check-up.
