Dental Checkups And Gingivitis Prevention
When you brush and floss your teeth, you can effectively protect yourself against several issues. You will remove bacteria as well as any food particles left from the day’s meals and snacks, lowering your risk for plaque and tartar buildup. This helps you avoid cavities, but it also helps you to stay protected against gingivitis. The first stage of gum disease, gingivitis is an infection that can cause several symptoms. If you have it, your gums can bleed more frequently when you perform your oral hygiene routine. You may also notice changes in your gum line, or issues with tissues that look swollen or discolored. It is important that this problem be properly addressed to prevent complications. Sunny Smiles can help with this during a routine dental visit, as we look out for periodontal as well as dental problems when we examine you. (more…)
