Brush twice daily with a soft or medium toothbrush, clean carefully along the gumline, and use floss or interdental brushes where teeth touch. Cleaning between teeth is essential because gum inflammation often starts where a toothbrush cannot reach.
Avoid smoking, control sugar frequency, and attend routine professional cleaning. If you have gum pockets, recession, or loose teeth, home care alone may not be enough and you may need professional gum treatment.
