When you think about your smile, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For most people, it’s their teeth, and we can hardly blame them; after all they are what we see when you open your mouth to speak or smile. But teeth have a tough time staying upright on their own, and they rely on real support from the surrounding structures of your bone tissue and your gums. And if you have started to see redness or swelling along your gumline, then it’s time to talk to your dentist about making some changes.
Our dentist brothers Dr. Coon and Dr. Coon at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY know that keeping up with your gum health is a big part of having a truly safe smile. Periodontal disease is routinely identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country, and when you start to feel it, it’s important to work with a trusted dental team to fight back. At your next dental checkup, we’ll take some measurements of your gum tissue to see where you’re at.
A healthy, strong smile depends on vigorous gums. If you’ve started to bleed when you brush or floss, tell Grinnell Street Dental.
