Don’t Leave Your Gums Behind!




If it’s a race to achieving a healthy smile, your gums are the backbone to a healthy smile. Without them your smile cannot live up to its finest potential. If your gums are bleeding, puffy and swollen, then your teeth and your smile are going to be unhealthy, which can add years to your face. Dr. Rice says, “Now days you read all about healthy living. How to cut out gluten from your diet to help reduce swelling, how you should exercise for you heart, well, it's time to brush for your teeth.” Your gums need love to, so don’t leave them behind. Increase your flossing regime to 1x a day and we promise your gums will thank you.

Gums are the soft forgotten tissue that helps protect your teeth. Without your gums there is nothing to hold your teeth in place. Your gums protect roots from being exposed, which can lead to sensitivity. Without your gums, your teeth will look uneven and unhealthy. Your gums are providing the sturdy mountain that holds your teeth together.

Millions of Americans every year lie to their dentist and periodontist about flossing. But there is no single action that protects your gums better and keeps them healthy then picking up that floss 1x a day. If you struggle to floss your teeth with regular floss, periodontist Dr. Denine Rice recommends finding a water pic or waxed floss to keep your gums healthy for a lifetime.
