Brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing once a day, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are all an essential part of preventing gum disease.

But good dental habits at home aren’t enough on their own to keep plaque from building up in your mouth.

That’s where your Tukwila dentist comes in!

Watch Dr. Hsue in today’s video to hear about how fighting gum disease is a team effort. Working together with excellent professional care and a strong oral hygiene routine at home are the best way to protect your smile!
