They include: smoking; some medications or medical conditions; and gritting or grinding your teeth (often when you sleep).

Did you know that a balanced healthy diet can actually help prevent gum disease? In addition, foods like mozzarella, yogurt, peanuts, and milk can help clear the mouth of harmful sugar. Avoid sticky foods, particularly those that have a lot of sugar.
