How to Avoid Gum Recession?



You deserve to have a smile that lasts a lifetime. Gum recession does not have to be the end of your healthy smile. 
                          
·       Stop overly aggressive brushing-your cosmetic dentist & office staff can demonstrate the proper technique of brushing and flossing.
·       
      Use only soft bristled toothbrushes.
·       
      Practice good oral hygiene-brush 2x/day & flossing daily; visit your cosmetic dentist every 3, 4, or 6 months for professional cleaning.

·       Avoid putting or chewing any foreign objects in the mouth to prevent dental injury to the gums.
·       
     Wear a night guard-some dentists think that clenching/grinding teeth may cause gum recession.
·       
     Consult with your cosmetic dentist for possible orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth and bite. Straight teeth and proper occlusion may prevent gum recession.

The best way to prevent gum recession is to take good care of your teeth and gums.  Brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and visiting your cosmetic dentist at least twice a year is recommended.  

If you experience any dental problem or tooth sensitivity, schedule an appointment with the Glendora cosmetic dentist,  Dr. Anna Lee, for a consultation. She can be reached at 626-335-5114 or email drannalee1@gmail.com.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY!
