As we step into August, it’s time to shine a spotlight on a crucial aspect of dental health: our gums. August is Gum Care Month, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of gum health and providing tips to maintain healthy gums. At Havener Orthodontics, we’re committed to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile, starting with your gums.
Why Gum Health Matters
Gum health is vital to overall oral health. Healthy gums act as the foundation for strong teeth and protect against various dental issues. Neglecting gum care can lead to problems like gingivitis, periodontitis, and even tooth loss. Here’s why maintaining healthy gums should be a top priority:
- Prevents Gum Disease
- Supports Overall Health
- Maintains Fresh Breath
Tips for Maintaining Healthy Gums
- Brush and Floss Regularly
- Use Mouthwash
- Eat a Balanced Diet
