Keep Up With Your Gum Health

Your smile is about more than just your teeth. While we know that they are certainly the stars of the show, you have an entire smile to keep clean, and sometimes, your regular brushing and flossing is simply not enough. It’s important to stick to your schedule of cleanings and examinations so that you keep up with your smile as you age, and your gum health is a big part of the reason why. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country.

With our caring team at Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX, you have a dedicated dental staff that’s ready to help you focus on your oral health needs. But we can’t do it alone; we need you to come in for your checkups, and when you do it on schedule, you give yourself a real advantage in avoiding common concerns like tooth decay, gingivitis, and more. So, if you’ve been putting off your routine exams and cleanings, now is your time to make a change.

Take charge of your smile. Call Gentle Smiles today and schedule your next appointment.

Are You Staying Up To Date?

No, we’re not talking about the latest tech gadget or social media rollout. You need to see your dentist at least twice each year, so if it has been longer than six months since your last visit, then you are due for some dental maintenance. These appointments have real value in your fight against bacterial buildup, helping you to spend a little quality time with a trusted dental hygienist.

While you are in the office, it’s a great time to talk to your provider about ways to improve your oral health. And if it’s been a while since your last checkup, your dentist may recommend dedicated periodontal treatment. This care is designed to strengthen your gum health by keeping your gumline cleaner.

Experience A Thorough Cleaning At And Below The Gumline

If your dentist recommends periodontal services, they are trying to stop the infection and inflammation of your gum tissue. This can happen when you go a little too light on your brushing and flossing, and also when you skip your dental appointments. Keeping your gums cleaner is a big step in fighting back against periodontal problems.

With a dedicated cleaning at and below your gumline, you can let your smile relax a little bit. Make sure to follow through with your provider’s schedule of treatment moving forward, as this condition really does put your smile at risk. By working with your dentist, you can work to save your teeth.
