The best way to prevent gum retraction is to take good care of your mouth. Brush your teeth and floss or interdental brushes every day. Visit your dentist at least twice a year, or as recommended by a trusted dentist. If you have receding gums, your dentist will likely want to see you more often.
Always use a soft-bristled toothbrush and ask your dentist to show you the correct way to brush your teeth. If the cause of your gum disease is an uneven bite or ecchymosis, talk to your specialist about correcting the problem.
Other preventive measures include:
Avoid using tobacco.
Follow a balanced and healthy diet.
Control any changes that occur in your mouth.
Maintain optimal dental health.
Enjoy a stunning smile for the rest of your life while keeping potential gum recession at bay.
