It is no secret that your gingival tissue is important to your oral hygiene. Your gums protect your teeth, keep them in place, and help form your smile. To maintain healthy gingival tissue, and a healthy oral cavity overall, it is important to brush and floss twice a day and see your dentist every six months. If you begin to notice a change in your smile, your dentist can help diagnose and treat the problem. Issues such as gingivitis and periodontal disease can be treated or maintained with scaling and root planing. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry is here to explain how this can help you.
