February marks Gum Disease Awareness Month

(Black PR Wire) MIAMI, FL – In recognition of Gum Disease Awareness Month, Phanord & Associates, P.A. is joining the hundreds of dental organizations and practices across the country to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining healthy gums and preventing gum disease.

Gum disease is a common but preventable condition that can lead to serious dental complications. When plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that naturally forms on the teeth, accumulates, it can cause inflammation around the tooth, leading to gingivitis, the mildest form of gum disease. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, one of the leading causes of tooth loss.

"Preventing and treating gum disease starts with good oral hygiene," says Dr. Kevin Phanord. “Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintaining healthy gums and preventing gum disease,” adds Dr. Kyle Phanord.

To help prevent or manage gum disease, Phanord & Associates, P.A. shares the following essential tips:

• Brush twice daily and floss every day.
• Get regular professional cleanings to remove tartar and plaque build-up.
• Schedule a dental check-up at least once a year or as recommended by your health care provider.

Through Gum Disease Awareness Month, Phanord & Associates, P.A. will share tips and information on gum disease prevention across its social media channels to help patients and their families live healthier lives.
