Are your gums trying to tell you something?

* Slight bleeding when you brush?
* Gums that look redder or puffier than usual?
* Your breath just isn’t fresh, no matter what you do?

Don’t use your teeth as tools

Your smile is one of your most valuable assets, and it’s worth protecting! Never use your teeth as tools. Tearing bags, chewing on pens, or opening bottles can cause microscopic fractures that can eventually lead to chips or breaks. Protect your investment in a healthy smile by using the right tools for the job.

Kissing: Benefits and Risks

Kissing has a surprising health benefit: it increases saliva flow, which helps wash away food particles and neutralize acids. However, there’s a flip side.

Kissing also exchanges bacteria, and if one person has a high level of bacteria that cause cavities or gum disease, it can be shared. The lesson? A healthy mouth is a gift to your own body and to others.

Your gums are the foundation of your smile

They serve a crucial role by providing the support system for your teeth.

When gums become unhealthy, they can pull away from the teeth, creating pockets where bacteria can hide.

This can weaken the foundation, which is why gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss.
