The Power of Your Smile

Don’t underestimate the power of your smile. A smile to a stranger having a bad day can change their entire life. Smiling helps to build your self-confidence and helps you achieve goals and dreams you didn’t even know you wanted. And a smile has the power to change a child’s entire day and help them to achieve their own goals. 

If you look down when someone walks by or try to hide your smile during that most recent Facebook post showing you and your friends night out, it may be time to talk to your periodontist Dr. Denine Rice. Making small but incremental changes with the health of your gums can make big changes with your smile. 

If your gums are bleeding or swollen, a laser periodontal procedure can reduce puffiness without the impact of traditional periodontal surgery. Your gums should not bleed at all when you brush and floss. If you are finding this is not the case, you have gingivitis and the only way to change this is by flossing 1x a day in conjunction with a minimally invasive periodontal procedure.

You may be hiding your smile because when you smile your gums are uneven causing your teeth to look as if they are different lengths. By meeting with Dr. Denine Rice and her team, it can be determined if you are a candidate for a gum graft procedure. This can allow your gums to be even.
