Identifying gingivitis when it forms allows you to combat the condition and prevent further damage from occurring. Why is this important? Because gum disease can actually have a serious long-term impact on your oral health and even your overall health. That’s why you should know the signs of gingivitis, floss daily, and visit your dentist every six months. (more…)

While your gums may be distinct from your teeth, the necessity to keep them clean, and the potential health issues that can befall them, remain the same. Bacteria build up around your gum line, just as they do on the surfaces of your teeth. Prolonged inflammation of the gums can eventually lead to periodontal disease, an irreversible problem that has long-term impact. That’s why you should seek periodontal treatment at the first sign of any gum-related issue. (more…)
