My Teeth and Gums

Oral health is an important part of overall health and neglecting your teeth and gums can lead to bigger health problems over time. The good news is there are ways to prevent, and in some cases reverse, the damage that poor oral hygiene can cause. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and regularly seeing a dentist are all ways to maintain a healthy mouth.

But what happens when teeth and gums become unhealthy? If left untreated, an unhealthy mouth can lead to gingivitis, periodontitis, cavities and advanced tooth decay. The longer you wait for treatment, the higher the likelihood you may experience gum recession, and tooth loosening or loss.

The good news is that treatment and prevention can improve and restore your oral health. And, if you have already experienced tooth damage or loss, dental implants may be the perfect solution to get you smiling again.
