Happy National Gum Care Month! Healthy gums support and protect your teeth, while unhealthy gums can lead to tooth loss.
Recognizing when your gums are unhealthy and seeking treatment from your dentist early on can make a lot of difference in your dental and overall health, since the early stage of gum disease (gingivitis) can usually be reversed by a professional dental cleaning followed by daily brushing and cleaning between your teeth. Common signs of gingivitis include bleeding, redness and swelling. Learn more at MouthHealthy.org/gumdisease

A healthy smile is a back-to-school essential! 🎒
It’s a great time of year for your child to see their dentist for an exam. The dentist can spot and take care of any issues so your child doesn’t have to miss class once school starts, and, if a few dental habits have fallen away over summer, a visit to the dentist can help get things back on track. For questions to ask during the exam, visit MouthHealthy.org/backtoschool.

Braces can fix your teeth alignment—but without proper care, they can increase the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Orthodontic brackets create plaque traps around every tooth. If cleaning isn’t precise, bacteria build up along the gumline and around brackets, leading to early white spot lesions (demineralization), cavities, and inflamed, bleeding gums. What may look like “just stains” during treatment can become permanent enamel damage once the braces are removed.

That’s why oral hygiene during braces matters more than ever. Cleaning around brackets, between teeth, and along the gums isn’t optional—it’s what protects your enamel while your teeth are moving. Straight teeth are important, but keeping them healthy is what truly defines a successful result.
