Your Teeth Can’t Do It All On Their Own
While we certainly love teeth, and they are the stars of our smile show, they need some help from their supporting cast. Your bone tissue provides a stable foundation for them, and your gums also do real work to keep your smile safe, functional, and beautiful. And your gums need consistent maintenance to stay strong and healthy as you age.
Bacterial buildup of plaque and tartar doesn’t just cause tooth decay and cavities. It can also really impact your gum health, causing redness, swelling, and even recession. Periodontal disease is a serious condition that is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country, so take the time to focus on your gum health to keep your entire smile safe.
Periodontal Progress Is Possible With A Dedicated Dentist
If your dentist tells you that your gums could use some work, trust them. Taking the time to focus on your gum health can go a long way in keeping your smile safe and strong. Your dentist may recommend dedicated periodontal services to remove plaque and tartar from even below the gumline, helping you to give your gums some time to relax.
