Celebrate Gum Care Month!

This month we want to bring awareness to the importance of your gum health. Did you know that your gum health dictates the health of your entire mouth? This is why gum care is so important!

The best way to take care of your gums is by brushing your teeth at least twice per day, flossing once per day, and seeing your dentist every six months. And if you know what your schedule may look like in 6 months, feel free to schedule with us ahead of time to secure your preferred appointment. These simple steps can significantly improve the health of your gums and overall oral hygiene.

It’s crucial to recognize the warning signs of gum disease early. Look out for red, swollen gums that bleed easily, recession of the gum tissue making the teeth appear longer, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's time to consult your dentist immediately.

You may also experience sensitive gums. This is presented as bleeding gums if touched, poked, or flossed. They may even hurt or be tender. If you experience sensitivity, it may be a sign that you need to be gentler with your oral care routine or that there's an underlying issue requiring professional attention.

Staying away from sugary drinks is best for the overall health of your mouth. Water is best and helps to flush out the bacteria from your mouth. Incorporating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and other nutrient-dense foods can also support gum health.

This month we are offering our OralB Genius Toothbrush system for $95. The normal price is $119! This is the perfect opportunity to get yourself a new toothbrush and get your oral health routine in shape.

Celebrate Gum Care Month by taking these important steps to ensure your gums and overall oral health are in top shape. Your future self will thank you!
