- Use an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce bacteria.
- Maintain regular dental cleanings and checkups.

The Importance of Early Treatment
Gum disease is a progressive condition that worsens over time. Early diagnosis and treatment during gingivitis can prevent it from advancing to periodontitis. Untreated gum disease can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss and increased risk of systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes.
