Home remedies and life style modifications for periodontitis

Try these measures to reduce or prevent periodontitis:

Brush your teeth twice a day or, better yet, after every meal or snack.
Floss daily.
Get regular professional dental cleanings, on a schedule recommended by your dentist.
Use a soft toothbrush and replace it at least every three to four months.
Consider using an electric toothbrush, which may be more effective at removing plaque and tartar.
Use a mouth rinse to help reduce plaque between your teeth.
Supplement brushing and flossing with an interdental cleaner, such as a dental pick, interdental brush or dental stick specially designed to clean between your teeth.
