Your gums are really important as they keep your teeth in their place! Regular teeth brushing and cleaning between teeth helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy. These also help to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Some people live with bleeding gums but choose to ignore it. Often it is an early warning sign of gum disease which is fully treatable. If left untreated, gums can become sore and teeth can become loose and eventually lost. There is scientific evidence that gum disease can be associated with other health conditions such as heart problems or diabetes.
Our dental hygienist is specifically trained to take care of your gum health and can advise you on effective cleaning regimes, healthy dietary and lifestyle choices to promote excellent oral health which in turn may also improve your overall general health.
You should therefore visit the dentist regularly – at least annually to check for decay and gum disease amongst other things – and visit our hygienist at least every six months.
So book an appointment with us. Remember, gum health is a key factor in your general health and wellbeing as well as your quality of life.
