Healthy gums

Beautiful and bright teeth start with a healthy mouth, and healthy gums. More teeth are lost to gingivitis than to caries. Proper care of the teeth not only prevents tooth decay, but also prevents inflammation of the gums.

What does healthy gums look like?

• Healthy gums are pink in color.
• Close like a cuff around the tooth and molar.
• Healthy gums DO NOT bleed when brushing teeth or using pickers/brushes/floss.
