Gum disease is a common condition which can be reversed when caught early. Your dentist can advise you how to treat your gum disease at home once your gums have started to heal.

Key takeaways:

• Rinsing your mouth with salt water can reduce levels of bacteria and help lower inflammation.
• Ensure you are flossing properly to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth.
• Brush your teeth gently using a soft-bristled toothbrush to help avoid damaging gum tissue.

"If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease, it’s not too late to redefine your flossing habits. Use plenty of floss, form a “C” shape around each tooth, and gently floss the sides of your teeth and just underneath the gumline."
