Healthy Gums

Gums are like the cushions for your teeth. They surround the teeth in the jaws plus help to support them. Looking after gums is as important as looking after teeth. Red swollen gums which bleed on brushing can be a sign of gingivitis. If gingivitis is left untreated it can develop further into a type of infection, periodontitis. Periodontitis can lead to premature tooth loss. To avoid this we recommend regular hygiene appointments.
