Periodontists and endodontists provide care to people of all ages. To keep your teeth strong and healthy, you can take steps to help prevent tooth and gum issues:
Brush, floss, and rinse your tongue and mouth twice a day.
Visiting your dentist regularly (twice a year) will help you keep your teeth and gum free of tartar.
Avoid smoking because it affects your gums and teeth.
Stay hydrated and eat nutritious food to strengthen the teeth.
Cut back on sugary drinks, especially soda and fruit juice. The sugary foods cause the bacteria to produce acid, which affects the teeth.
