Improve Your Gums

Your gums are the backbone to your smile, but they are often left in the dark and not treated very well. You may have every intention of flossing and brushing regularly or even have a visit to the periodontist scheduled. Keep in mind that taking the time to improve your gum health impacts not only your smile but your overall health as well.

Your gums surround your tooth in love and protection. Without your gums, your teeth could not stay in your mouth. Over time, damage to your gums can cause them to recede, bleed or become swollen with bacteria. Dr. Rice and her team can help you get your oral health back on track.

Keeping your gums healthy is more than just brushing and flossing however, they are a true reflection of the foods and beverages you consume. Spend time evaluating your smile before and after you eat fruits and vegetables versus when you consume a large amount of carbohydrates. Our gums are working hard to keep up with all of the damage we can do to them in a day.

Even if you routinely brush and floss, your gums can get worn down. There are so many options available that can help you get the smile you love. Contact Dr. Rice and her team today for more information on your smile.
