Are there special methods for gum care?
The key to gum care is brushing after meals together with cleaning between the teeth using floss or interdental brushes. 1) Brush 2 to 3 times a day, carefully along the gum line. 2) Use floss or interdental brushes at least once a day. 3) Get a scaling once a year — for those aged 19 and older, this is covered by National Health Insurance. 4) Smoking worsens gum disease, so we recommend quitting. However, if your gums bleed often when brushing or feel swollen, inflammation may already be progressing, so please visit us for an examination.
