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
