Daily Habits And Your Periodontal Health

The small daily routines that we practice can become so familiar that we stop thinking about them. When it comes to smile care, that tendency to be less observant can lead to problems, as it can lead to your habits becoming less thorough. This can become a big problem for your gums, as you can do less to protect these tissues against the accumulation of oral bacteria. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we support patients who are dealing with different degrees of poor health. Those who struggle with advanced gum disease can experience complications such as tissue damage, tooth loss, and even problems with their overall health. In addition to providing in-office services, we can offer guidance to help you better protect your gums at home. We can also supply you with Perio Protect, which helps you target periodontal bacteria more easily.

Do Your Regular Behaviors Make You Vulnerable To Periodontal Disease?

What are you doing in your daily life that affects your risk for periodontal problems? Sometimes, the issue is with what you are not doing. Simply put, if you are not as thorough as you should be when you brush and floss, you can let bacteria accumulate and begin moving under your gumline. With that said, there are certain actions that make infections harder to prevent. One serious concern is tobacco use, as your habit can make you more susceptible to issues over time.

Cutting Tobacco To Protect Your Gums

By smoking cigarettes or using other tobacco products, you can make yourself more susceptible to problems with gum disease. Of course, periodontal health difficulties are just one of many areas of concern when it comes to this kind of habit. By dropping smoking from your life, you can have an easier time preserving your oral and overall well-being.

Need A More Effective Hygiene Routine? Perio Protect Can Help!

To add more protection for your gums in your daily life, consider treatment with Perio Protect. Your periodontist can supply a personalized treatment kit that lets you fight the bacteria that can gather on your roots. By incorporating this into your current oral hygiene routine, you can take advantage of the superior support and have less difficulty with problems linked to poor gum hygiene and health.
