Gum disease and tooth decay affect your overall health. 1 Floss at least once a day to help remove the plaque and food that’s beyond your toothbrush’s reach. 2 Brush your teeth twice a day and don’t forget to scrub your tongue since it can harbor bacteria. 3 Choose a toothpaste that contains fluoride and has the ADA seal of acceptance. 4 Therapeutic mouthwash can help reduce plaque, prevent or reduce gingivitis, and/or reduce the speed tartar develops. ... 5 Smoking is strongly associated with the onset of gum disease and since it weakens your immune system, makes it harder to fight off gum infection. 6 Your dentist can detect early gum disease symptoms and treat them before it becomes more serious, plus, professional cleanings are the only way to remove tartar.
