Dental Insurance Plus, Gums Equal Healthy Gums
Your gums surround your teeth, and help hold your teeth in place. In order to keep your gums healthy, you need to practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth at least twice a day, floss your teeth once a day and making sure to have regular dental visits. If your gums become red and swollen or bleed easily, they could be infected. This is known as gingivitis. Prompt treatment can help restore good oral health. Left untreated, gingivitis can progress to severe gum disease (periodontitis) and possible tooth loss.
