Your gums and the tissues around your teeth play an important role in supporting your teeth and maintaining oral function.
Gum changes can develop gradually:
🔸 Healthy gums - pink, firm and comfortable around the teeth.
🔸 Gingivitis - gums may become red, swollen or bleed more easily.
🔸 Gum recession - the gum margin moves away from the tooth, exposing more of the tooth surface.
🔸 Periodontal disease - deeper changes can affect the tissues and bone that support the teeth.
Understanding gum health gives you a clearer picture of the foundation supporting your smile.
For anyone considering dental implants, the health of the surrounding gums and supporting bone is an important part of treatment planning.
