Your risk for gum disease is low.

Recommendations

To manage your risk for gum disease, we recommend:

At the dentist's office

• Visit your dentist regularly (every 6 to 12 months) for an exam and cleaning. Regular dental visits are important even if you don't notice a problem. By the time you notice something is wrong or have pain, the problem could be more serious.

At home

• Brush at least twice a day for 2-3 minutes with a fluoride toothpaste.
• Floss at least once a day.
• If you smoke, stop. Your dentist or dental hygienist can help or direct you to resources to help you quit smoking.
