Action plan to protect your oral and brain health 🦷
1️⃣ Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss to reduce the buildup of bacteria on your gums and teeth.
2️⃣ Get regular dental checkups, as periodontal disease can progress without noticeable symptoms in its early stages.
3️⃣ Reduce your consumption of excessive sugars and ultra-processed foods, which promote bacterial growth in the oral cavity.
