Prevent and protect
Gingivitis has one cause – plaque. If you combat this cause directly by removing plaque and inhibiting new growth and not just addressing the symptoms, you will be well protected.
Thorough cleaning is important – even at home every day
By brushing your teeth twice a day, supplemented by cleaning and rinsing all spaces between your teeth once a day, you prevent the accumulation of bacterial plaque and reduce the overall number of bacteria in the mouth. Antibacterial toothpaste and mouthwash solutions can supplement manual cleaning. It is also important to visit the dentist regularly and have your teeth professionally cleaned.
How do you flow?
At least once a day, preferably before bed. By cleaning with dental floss, you can also reach hard-to-reach areas between teeth that a toothbrush cannot reach.
The correct tooth brushing technique
Brush your teeth at least twice a day, morning and evening. The choice of your toothbrush should depend on the condition of your gums. Ask your dentist for advice.
Regular dental visits and prophylaxis
Dentists and dental hygienists can detect the first signs of gum problems early. The causes such as plaque and tartar are also discovered and eliminated during regular check-ups with your dentist or as part of a professional teeth cleaning.
At the end of the professional teeth cleaning, the tooth surfaces are polished with special pastes and polishing cups. This means plaque can no longer stick as quickly.
