Did you know nearly half of adults aged 30 years and older in the United States have periodontitis? Taking good care of your gums is vital to your overall health, and thankfully, doing so is simple. Flossing and brushing every day may not be new news to you, but it's worth reiterating the power they hold in keeping gum disease at bay. By effectively removing plaque from your teeth, you prevent it from building up and turning into tartar. The problem with tartar is that it can only be removed by a dental professional, and, as it nears the gumline, the harmful bacteria can cause bleeding, inflammation, and irritation.

Summer always seems to fly by, doesn't it? As a new school year and extracurricular activities begin again, it's important to get back into the swing of things with healthy oral care habits.

Implementing good oral care habits go much further for your overall well-being than just having bright and shiny teeth, so making these rituals lighthearted and fun is essential in keeping them consistent. And when you're ready to get your routine checkup in the books, you can schedule an appointment with us below.
