Oral health maintenance should not focus only on the teeth. Gums need special care to maintain their health and avoid any kind of disease.
Don’t wait until it’s too late and act in advance to take care of your gums and that of your entire family. How to properly protect the gums? Put these tips into practice:
Brush your teeth after every meal
Follow a good oral hygiene routine by brushing your teeth and gums after every meal. Brushing should be gentle, applying the appropriate force to remove food residues and at the same time gently massaging the gums without irritating them.
Complete brushing with an appropriate toothpaste. If you have sensitive gums or need extra care, our KIN Forte and KIN Gingival Complex lines are expressly indicated for any gum problem.
Choose the right toothbrush
Brushes that have very hard bristles can damage the gums. Choose a toothbrush that best suits the needs of your mouth, and learn how to use it properly.
Soft and extremely soft brushes are best suited to prevent inflammation and bleeding of the gums during brushing. For the most sensitive gums, KIN Gums are special for brushing and gently stimulating.
Floss or nearby brushes
Dirt from the mouth is not found only on the surface of the teeth and gums. Directly in the areas between the teeth, where the brush does not reach, is where more food debris and bacteria accumulate.
For complete care of the tissues of the enamel and gums, do not forget to always use dental floss or nearby brushes after each meal.
Complete oral hygiene with mouthwash
What happens with the rest of the mouth areas that we don’t reach with the brush? Mouthwash is responsible for eliminating any bacteria that may be left. Helps fight dental plaque for a 100% effective clean.
Some mouthwashes contain a formulation that is adapted to specific gum care. The products of the Cariax Gingival or PerioKIN line provide intense protection in sensitive gums or during recovery from an intervention or disease.
Follow a healthy and balanced diet
Taking care of your gums on the inside is just as important as taking care of your gums on the outside. In addition to brushing, gum tissue needs a proper supply of nutrients to stay strong.
A healthy and balanced diet, avoiding the consumption of sugars, saturated fats and harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco, are essential for a beautiful mouth. Chewing raw plant foods such as fruits and vegetables is a good exercise for the gums, as well as providing plenty of vitamins and minerals.
Go for check-ups with your dentist
The vast majority of gum problems can be detected early in the dentist’s office. Even before the first symptoms that warn us of periodontal disease appear, with a simple review you can act in a timely manner.
Visit your dentist at least once a year to check the condition of your mouth. Don’t wait until you’re having trouble getting to the appointment regularly.
