In Summary


    To reduce the risk of gingivitis, maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine.

    Brush your teeth at least twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque between teeth. Use an antimicrobial mouthwash to help reduce bacteria.

    Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are crucial for early detection and prevention. Avoid smoking and limit sugary foods, as both increase the risk of gum disease.

    A balanced diet rich in vitamins C and D also supports gum health.

    By adopting these simple habits, you can significantly lower your chances of developing gingivitis and promote overall oral well-being
