The Importance of Healthy Gums

Your gums are the protective layer against bacteria while supporting and keeping your teeth in place. Without them, you’ll easily get food debris and bacteria stuck in the deeper parts of your teeth. With that being said, your gum health is incredibly important! If you have any issues with your gums, it can lead to both oral and overall complications.
