Adults over the age of 35 are more likely to have gum disease (periodontal disease). Three of the four adults were affected at some point in their lives. The best way to prevent dental caries and periodontal disease is to perform daily brushing and flossing techniques.
Periodontal disease and rot are caused by plaque. Plaque is a colorless film that sticks to the gum line. Plaques form continuously on your teeth. By thoroughly brushing your teeth and flossing daily, you can remove these bacteria and help prevent periodontal disease.
