Taking good care of gum infection
Flossing and Brushing your teeth is the best prevention to bone loss. For gum health flossing minimal once per day goes a long way. Studies have shown that bacteria that cause gum disease and associated bone loss take 24 hours to develop to damaging levels after they are cleaned off your teeth.
Get your teeth cleaned at least twice a year and use a water pik.
Brushing and flossing daily. Mouth rinse. Very important to see the hygienist routinely to remove hard deposits
