Gum Health Plays A Big Part In Your Dental Story

When you think about your oral health needs, how much do you focus on your gums? For most people, they’re little more than an afterthought. But your oral health hinges upon strong and healthy gums, and when you go a little light on your brushing and flossing, your gumline could start to show it.

Gingivitis and periodontal disease are serious problems for any smile. Bacterial buildup can lead to infection and inflammation that put teeth at risk. In fact, periodontal disease is readily identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss, so take your gum health seriously.
