When you brush your teeth, you’re not only caring for your teeth. You also need to perform routine oral health maintenance for your gums, as well, and when you go a little light there, it can come back to haunt you. Periodontal disease is routinely identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country, so it’s important to keep up with your brushing and flossing. And when you see a shift in your gumline, take the time to talk to your dentist about finding a solution.
With our local, neighborhood oral health team at Sunny Smiles, you’ve got someone looking out for your smile. We understand that sometimes, bacterial buildup can lead to redness and swelling along the gumline, and if that’s started to happen to you, don’t let it continue for long. It can progress to periodontal disease, putting you at real risk of further complications, including tooth loss. So, when you start to experience bleeding when you brush, it’s time to talk to your team.
