Gums are the foundation
Even perfectly white teeth depend on healthy gums and bone. When gums become inflamed, the support around teeth can slowly break down.
Early warning signs
Bleeding when you brush, puffy or tender gums, persistent bad breath and gums that seem to be shrinking back are the most common early signs.
The bigger picture
Research links long-term gum inflammation with conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Keeping gums healthy is good for more than just your mouth.
Simple daily habits
Clean between your teeth every day, brush along the gumline at a gentle angle and keep up regular hygiene visits. Early gum problems are very reversible.
