Healthy gums are important for overall health

Your oral health is an essential part of your overall health. Maintaining healthy gums is important to provide a strong foundation for teeth. If left unchecked, poor oral hygiene can lead to gum problems (gingivitis or periodontal disease). Gum disease is also linked to other health conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease. It most commonly occurs when plaque, a sticky substance containing bacteria, builds up along the gum line and causes the gum tissue to become inflamed.  Left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. By knowing the warning signs and taking action quickly, you have the power to help prevent that happening!
