Happy New Year 2025! As we step into another year, it’s time to prioritize your gum health. At Dental Rooms, Wimbledon Village, our periodontist, Dr. Georgios, shares expert tips to keep your gums in top shape and why it matters for your overall health.
Why Gum Health Matters
Your gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Neglecting gum care can lead to periodontal disease, which is linked to serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Healthy gums not only protect your teeth but also contribute to your overall well-being.
10 Gum Care Tips for 2025
- Brush Twice Daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth and gums gently.
- Floss Daily: Remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth to prevent gum inflammation.
- Use Mouthwash: Choose an antibacterial rinse to reduce plaque and bacteria.
- Quit Smoking: Smoking impairs gum healing and increases the risk of gum disease.
- Visit Your Dentist Regularly: Schedule check-ups every six months for professional cleaning and gum health evaluation.
- Eat a Balanced Diet: Include foods rich in vitamins C and D to strengthen your gums.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps wash away food particles and keeps your gums hydrated.
- Manage Stress: Stress can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to gum infections.
- Avoid Grinding Teeth: If you grind your teeth, consider a mouthguard to protect your gums and teeth.
- Book a Periodontal Assessment: Early detection of gum issues can save your smile.
