Brush and Floss: Brush thoroughly for 2 minutes, twice daily. Don't forget to floss. Consider an electric type toothbrush that will time you for 2 minutes. Aim at the gum line. Also consider following the brushing with listerine. Don't worry if there is a little bleeding initially. If that fails, see your dentist for an exam and possibly a professional cleaning and prescription mouth-rinse.

The good news: only a few changes to your dental routine can help. 1.Stop early gingivitis and get healthy teeth with professional deep cleaning, daily antibacterial mouth rinses (e.g chlorhexidine 0.2). 2. Prevention: floss, electric toothbrush, tongue scraper. 3. Adequate nutrition. Take care.
