Your teeth are not the only part of your smile, but they are what people tend to focus on the most. They also rely on the strength and support of the tissue around them, and so it is important to make sure that you are working toward positive oral health by caring for your entire mouth. When it comes to your gums, keeping them clean can make a significant difference in your ability to fight harmful bacterial growth. Talk to your provider about your gum health today and make steps to slow or even halt the progression of periodontal disease.
If you have not been to the dentist yet in 2024, then it is time to schedule a biannual checkup with Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX.
