The Correct Way Recommended to Take Care of Your Gums

The Correct Way Recommended to Take Care of Your Gums

When it comes to your mouth’s health, it’s not all about how straight your teeth are or how bright your smile is. You can’t forget about your gums! Even if you’re cavity-free and have the pearliest chompers in town, that doesn’t mean you’re immune to gum disease. Since it’s usually painless, most people have no idea that anything is wrong with their gums.

Gum disease starts when plaque builds up under and along the gum line. Plaque is a sticky film-like substance that’s filled with bacteria. It can cause infections that hurt the gum and bone, leading to gum disease and tooth decay.

“ Healthy habits, including brushing and flossing, can prevent tooth decay (cavities) and gum disease. Tooth decay and gum disease can lead to pain and tooth loss.”

You can also develop periodontitis, an advanced form of gum disease. Periodontitis impacts the bones that hold your teeth in place. Left untreated, it can ruin the gums, bones, and tissues connected to your teeth.

“My fiancée recommended this place to me. He was looking for a local dentist and set up an appointment with Reflections online. Unfortunately, they weren’t in his network but they went out of the way to let him know ahead of time and compile a list of other local places in network. I figured if they were that helpful to someone who wouldn’t be using their services, they’d be a good place to go and I wasn’t wrong! Everyone here is super friendly and makes sure every aspect of your visit — from waiting for your appointment to dental procedures to payment — is as comfortable as possible. I’d HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re looking for a dentist!”
