The nature of gum disease and tooth decay can be hereditary. Even with the best of oral hygiene, some people suffer with the misfortune of bad dental problems because of their family dental history. If this is the case, you should stay on top of your oral health the best you can by seeing your dentist frequently and routinely brushing and flossing your teeth.

  • It is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day
  • Flossing daily will remove the debris and plaque from in between the teeth
