Your gum health makes a real difference for your oral and overall health, so why have you been skipping your flossing? Approximately 40% of your tooth’s surface can only be cleaned with the use of dental floss or an interdental brush, so if you are relying on your toothbrush alone to keep you safe, it’s time to make a change. Plaque can form in between your teeth and along your gumline, so take care of your gums with consistent at-home maintenance.
But you cannot do it alone, and at Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, our goal is to help you maintain and improve your oral health. Your gums play a pivotal role in your ability to keep your smile safe, so if you have started to see a shift in your gumline, talk to your dentist about uplifting your periodontal efforts. By sticking to your timeline of biannual dental checkups and cleanings, you give yourself the ability to fight back against gingivitis and periodontal disease. Call us today to schedule an appointment, and let’s talk about healthier gums!
