Strong teeth and gums help us to enjoy life and to feel more attractive and healthy.
Many people suffer from permanent gum recession where some of the root of the tooth is exposed. This can look unattractive and can also lead to gum problems, pain and in the worst case tooth loss.
Bacteria collect between the teeth and gums, causing plaque to form. When plaque is not removed with regular brushing and flossing, gums can become reddened, swollen, and may bleed. Inflamed gums can destroy the fibers that anchor the teeth to the jaw bone, causing bone loss. Healthy fibers and bone are necessary to preserving the teeth.
