How can Nanotechnology help in preventing gum diseases?
Preventing gum diseases is crucial to maintaining overall oral health. Nanotechnology can help in this area by offering advanced antibacterial agents that can be incorporated into toothpaste or mouthwash. These agents can effectively target and eliminate harmful bacteria that contribute to plaque formation and gum inflammation. Additionally, nanocoatings on dental instruments can reduce bacterial adhesion, further preventing gum diseases.
