Welcome to Artisan Dental Studio! Taking care of your gums is as important as brushing your teeth. Healthy gums help keep your smile bright, protect your teeth, and keep your whole body healthy. Below are simple, friendly tips you can follow every day to keep your gums in tip-top shape.
Why Gum Health Matters
Gum tissue is the pink tissue around your teeth. It supports the stability of teeth. When gums get weak or sore, you can have pain, bleed when you brush, or even lose teeth. Healthy gums also protect you from germs that can make you sick in other ways.
Simple Tips for Better Gum Care Every Day
Good gum care is easy when you make it part of your daily routine. Try these friendly steps to keep your gums strong and pink.
1. Brush Gently, But Well
- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush. Hard bristles can hurt your gums.
- Hold the brush at a 45° angle to your teeth. This helps clean right where the gums meet the teeth.
- Move the brush in tiny circles. Spend about two minutes brushing all sides.
2. Don’t Skip Flossing
- Flossing removes bits of food and plaque out of reach of your brush.
- Gently guide the floss up and down each tooth, under the gum line.
- To avoid spreading germs, use a fresh piece of floss for every tooth.
3. Choose the Right Toothpaste
- Pick a toothpaste that has fluoride and is made for gum health.
- If your gums bleed, look for a toothpaste for sensitive gums, and ask us at Artisan Dental Studio if you need help choosing.
4. Rinse with Care
- A gentle, alcohol free mouthwash can rinse away leftover germs.
- Swish for 30 seconds after brushing and flossing.
- Don’t swallow the rinse, spit it out when you’re done.
5. Eat Foods That Help Your Gums
- Crunchy fruits and veggies like apples and carrots clean teeth and raise saliva levels.
- Dairy foods like cheese and yogurt have calcium and casein, which help keep gums strong.
- To wash off the acid and sugar, drink lots of water.
6. Avoid Too Much Sugar and Acid
- Sugary snacks and sodas feed the bacteria that can hurt your gums.
- If you have a sweet treat, brush or rinse afterward to protect your gums.
7. Stay Smoke Free
- Smoking weakens your gums’ defenses against infection.
- Quitting smoking improves your gum health quickly. Your body begins to heal right away.
8. Manage Stress
- Stress can lower your body’s ability to fight germs, including those in your mouth.
- Simple stress busters: take deep breaths, go for a walk, or talk to a friend.
9. Drink Enough Water
- Water helps rinse away food bits and keeps your mouth moist.
- Dry mouth can lead to gum problems, so sip water throughout the day.
10. Use a Gum Care Tool
- Interdental brushes or soft picks can be easier than floss for some people.
- Ask us which tool might work best for your mouth.
11. Check Your Technique
- Once a week, brush with an electric toothbrush if you have one. It can help you clean better with less force.
- Ask at your next visit if we can show you the best moves for your brush.
12. Watch for Early Warning Signs
- Red, swollen, or tender gums may be early signs of trouble.
- Bleeding when you brush or floss is not standard. Let us know ASAP.
13. Keep Up with Regular Checkups
- We recommend seeing your dentist every six months.
- Professionals remove tartar that brushing and flossing miss.
14. Think about Your Whole Health
- Conditions like diabetes can make gum problems worse.
- Eating well, staying active, and taking your medicines help both your body and your gums.
