Gum Health
Your gums are the foundation of your smile! Healthy gums don’t just support your teeth—they’re crucial to your overall well-being. Problems like bleeding gums could hint at early gum disease, such as gingivitis, which can lead to more serious issues like periodontitis if left unchecked. Did you know gum disease can even affect your heart health? Taking care of your gums is about more than just your teeth—it’s about protecting your whole body.

What to Expect
During your check-up, we will examine your gum health, measure any pockets between your gums and teeth, and assess for any signs of inflammation or infection. Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, a thorough cleaning may suffice.
