Healthy gums are important for many reasons, the human mouth, like so many other areas of the body, is full of bacteria, most of which is harmless. However the mouth is the body’s entry to your digestive and respiratory tracts and while most of these bacteria are harmless some can cause disease.
With good hygiene and oral care the body’s natural defence keeps this bacteria at bay. If oral hygiene that should include daily brushing and flossing these levels can become out of control which leads to oral infections like gum disease and tooth decay.
Ways to maintain healthy gums
Brush teeth properly and twice a day
Floss daily
Use mouthwash
Regular dental checkups
