Here’s a not-so-fun fact: adults over 35 lose more teeth to gum diseases (periodontal disease) than cavities. Both periodontal disease and decay are caused by bacterial plaque, a colorless film that sticks to your teeth at the gum line. So, what’s the most effective way to prevent cavities and periodontal disease? That’s right, sound dental hygiene habits. And while thorough tooth brushing and daily flossing are a few cornerstones of excellent oral health, you certainly shouldn’t stop there. Regular visits to the dentist also play a vital role in the longevity of your teeth and gums.
