If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it could be gingivitis—the earliest stage of gum disease. Gingivitis is caused by plaque buildup and inflammation in the gums, and if left untreated, it can progress to more serious oral and overall health issues.

✨ Signs of gingivitis include:
• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding when brushing or flossing
• Bad breath that won’t go away

The good news? Gingivitis is reversible when caught early. At Mahomet Family Dentistry, our team focuses on prevention, education, and gentle care to help keep your gums healthy and your smile strong.

Snow days may slow everything down—but your flossing routine shouldn’t stop. Just like plowing through snow keeps roads clear, flossing clears out plaque and food particles your toothbrush can’t reach.

🦷 Why floss daily?
• Helps prevent cavities between teeth
• Protects your gums from inflammation
• Keeps your breath fresh all winter long

At Mahomet Family Dentistry, we know small daily habits make a big difference. So even if you’re bundled up inside, grab that floss and keep your smile on track.

Stay warm. Keep flossing. Smile bright all season.

Your toothbrush only cleans about 60% of your tooth’s surface. That means 40% goes untouched—and that’s where plaque, bacteria, and cavities love to hide! 😬

Flossing daily reaches those hidden areas between your teeth, keeping your gums healthy and your smile sparkling. Don’t let plaque win—floss it out!
