Maintaining optimal oral health is about more than just brushing and flossing. Many people unknowingly suffer from gum disease and other oral health issues that require targeted care. If you’re serious about improving your dental health, follow these five essential steps to take control of your oral hygiene and prevent further issues.

1. Assess Your Gum Health: Call Your Dentist

Your gum health plays a crucial role in overall oral health. One of the key indicators of gum disease is the presence of periodontal pockets—spaces between the teeth and gums where bacteria thrive.

  • Call your dental office and ask how many periodontal pockets measuring 4mm or more you have.
  • If you have more than six, schedule your next dental appointment within three months.
  • Immediately improve your oral care routine at home to prevent further damage.

2. Upgrade Your Oral Care Routine with CleanKiss Products

Using the right oral care products can make a significant difference in your gum health. CleanKiss offers a simple yet effective solution:

  • Use CleanKiss Swish, an all-natural mouthrinse, followed by CleanKiss Scrub toothpaste twice daily.  Use an electric toothbrush of your choice.
  • Continue this routine for at least three months to see noticeable improvements.
  • CleanKiss even offers a money-back guarantee if your dental professional documents no improvement (as long as you’ve used the products as directed).

3. Support Your Oral Health with Targeted Supplements

Good oral health isn’t just about brushing—it’s also about nourishing your body from the inside out. Consider adding CleanKiss’s anti-inflammatory, bone support, and probiotic supplements to your daily routine. These supplements are designed to:

  • Reduce inflammation in the gums.
  • Strengthen bone health to prevent tooth loss.
  • Balance oral bacteria for a healthier mouth.

4. Take Your Hygienist’s Advice Seriously: Get a Deep Cleaning If Needed

If your dental hygienist recommends scaling and root planing (a deep cleaning), don’t delay the treatment—especially if you’ve already switched to CleanKiss products. Deep cleaning removes plaque and bacteria below the gumline, helping to:

  • Stop gum disease progression.
  • Allow gums to heal and reattach to the teeth.
  • Prevent future tooth loss and complications.

5. Ask About Advanced Treatments: Laser or Ozone Therapy

Modern dental technology offers minimally invasive treatments that can enhance your gum health even further. Ask your dentist about:

  • Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT): Uses laser technology to remove infected tissue and promote healing.
  • Ozone Therapy: Kills harmful bacteria and promotes a healthier oral environment.

Both treatments can be highly effective in managing gum disease and improving overall oral health.

By following these five steps, you can take proactive control of your oral health and prevent serious dental issues. Whether it’s checking your gum health, upgrading your oral care routine, or seeking advanced treatments, making these changes now can lead to a healthier, happier smile in the future.
