• Good oral health doesnt mean having a perfect
  smile with good-looking teeth.
• Along with your teeth, your gums should also be
  healthy and strong.
• Gum disease is one of the most common oral
  diseases which affects millions of people around
  the world.
• Gum disease not only results in tooth loss but
  also increases the chances of diabetes, heart
  disease and other problems in the body.

   circular motion effectively cleaning the front
   and back part of your teeth.
3. Never over brush your teeth and change your
   toothbrush every 2-3 months.

Tips to Keep Your Gums Healthy and Strong

• Quit smoking. Smoking increases the chances of
  gum disease and oral cancer.
• Use antibacterial mouthwash to get rid of germs
  and bacteria in your mouth. Opt for an
  alcohol-free mouthwash.
• Chew sugarless gums after every meal which not
  only stimulate the saliva production but also
  maintain the pH level in your mouth.
• Limit intake of sugary foods and drinks. Sugar
  not only causes plaque build-up but also erodes
  the protective layer of teeth leading to tooth
  decay and gum infections.
