Best dental clinic in 200 feet radial road - Amethyst Dental & Aesthetics from Kovilambakkam. What can I do to prevent gum disease? Prevention must begin from home. Proper cleaning habits, like brushing at least twice a day and flossing, is the first line of defence against gum disease. The next thing is to visit the dentist regularly. The reason for this is so that any possibility of progression of the gum disease can be monitored and prevented at an early stage. Contact us Amethyst Dental Aesthetics.
