1. Take A Careful Look At Your Gums

First of all, don’t lose sight of the state of these issues. Remember that their usual color is pink, so if you see them too red, you should alert yourself, since it would be causing inflammation. On the other hand, it would not be normal for them to bleed regularly when you brush your teeth. Sensitivity to touch is also a negative symptom.

2. Don’t Neglect Your Dental Hygiene

Good oral hygiene habits are essential daily. In this sense,  do not forget to brush your teeth three times a day, after each of the meals you do and without going overboard with the intensity of the movements. Thus, you will also help to eliminate the bacterial plaque that forms between the teeth and the gums and that causes, when it hardens, tartar becomes evident and periodontal diseases occur. You can achieve this by using products that suppress the remains of food that remain in these more intricate areas, such as interdental brushes and dental floss.

3. Attention To What You Eat And What You Drink

Above all, you should minimize the consumption of beverages, acidic and sugary foods, as well as those that contain saturated fat. Tobacco and alcohol, for their part, can cause dangerous infections and inflammations. However, you can choose nutrition that does not cause these risks such as healthy diets based on fruits and vegetables. Also, remember that licorice helps inhibit bacteria that are harmful to the gums.

4. Move Your Gums

If these are exercised, it will be easier to eliminate the remains of food between the gums and the teeth. We give you a useful recommendation to achieve this:  consume an apple every day.
