Sometimes because of gum disease or gingivitis, bleeding can also occur during flossing. But after few weeks the bleeding will stop, so don’t stop flossing.

Otherwise, periodontal disease can develop in your mouth. Your gums can bleed, recede and swell because of this. Sleeping challenges, premature birth, obesity, diabetes, stroke and heart attack are the various health conditions that are linked to it. Along with this oral cancer and high blood pressure are the various health conditions whose screening will also be performed by your dental hygienist.
3.Stop smoking – Tooth stains can occur because of smoking. Sometimes on the enamel, a deep soaking of the stains can occur. In the area surrounding your teeth, large pockets can develop because of the recession of the healthy gums. As a result of this, in between the teeth, dark spaces are created. Reversing gum disease can be very difficult cure if you smoke a lot.
4.Avoid drinking too much red wine, tea and coffee – Tooth stains can develop because of drinking red wine, tea and coffee. Tooth enamel’s internal staining can occur by drinking some of these drinks too much. To reducing the possibility of tooth decay, you can use a straw to consume these drinks.

For the people who drink tea and coffee, it will be good to use rinses and toothpaste that are made to whiten their teeth. When in the backside of your mouth, you can whiten it with the use of gel pens.
6.Use quality toothbrush – If you will use a manual toothbrush for removing plaque then it may not work well. But an electric toothbrush is more effective. Over time, it becomes necessary to change the heads of these toothbrushes. Go for a manual toothbrush having soft bristles, if you can’t purchase an electric toothbrush. Do not use extremely hard-bristled toothbrushes as your enamel can wear out or recession can occur by brushing in an aggressive manner with a hard-bristled toothbrush.
7.Drink water in the right volume – For your body and your smile, a drink that is the healthiest is water. In preventing tooth decay and cleaning teeth, water is very helpful. A good amount of fluoride is present in tap water. To discourage tooth decay and promote good dental health the water containing fluoride is very helpful. Tooth decay can increase if you continue to frequently consume drinks that are very sugary or acidic.
