Every day, you work hard to protect your teeth against decay. Whether you’re brushing and flossing or using water flossers and mouth rinses, all of these products do a great job of combatting tooth decay. However, on their own, they may struggle to protect your teeth adequately, and you may need a more advanced treatment.
Healthy gums are the most vital part of a healthy smile. Without healthy gums, the health of your teeth, soft tissue, and jawbone may begin to deteriorate quickly. If you’ve recently been diagnosed with gingivitis, you may be worried about what this means for the future of your smile. While early gum disease can be daunting, there are things that can be done to remedy this and protect you from further periodontitis.
If you are brushing and flossing adequately, you may be surprised when you notice blood in your mouth. While occasional bleeding might seem minor, it can indicate an underlying problem that requires immediate attention from a dental team. But, if you don’t know what is causing your bleeding gums, it can be difficult to begin treating the problem. Understanding the cause and treatment can help you maintain a healthier smile.
