Orthodontist Davie | Why Gum Health Matters

30 Aug 2019

One of the most important parts of your gum health is the way they interact with so many other health systems of the body The gums are very closely related to the cardiovascular system and to the general health of your teeth, so taking care of them is essential. Working with a professional orthodontist Davie can help restore your gum health and keep them strong.

Structural Support

 

The most important function of the gums is to provide the teeth with structural support so that they can stay rooted in place and stay connected via nerves to the jaw. Gums are a soft tissue that retains the necessary nutrients and systems to keep your teeth in place for your lifetime, and so allowing your gums to decay can weaken the ability of your gums to support the teeth. When gums become infected, they can recede and allow the teeth to loosen.

 

Heart Health

 

Many people often are unaware of the connection between the gums and the health of your heart and the cardiovascular system. Because the gums are closely connected to the heart, infections can easily travel from the mouth into the heart, increasing the risk of heart disease. The mouth comes into contact with millions of bacteria every day as we eat and breath, so keeping the gums and the mouth clean is a great way to prevent oral diseases.

  • My experience here has always been amazing. This is my 2nd time getting braces with them due to not wearing my retainer. I was very pleased with my results the first time and am sure I will achieve the same beautiful smile a 2nd time. Glory at the front desk is very kind and helpful when checking you in and working you up. All the staff is very sweet and I love how clean and bright the facility is.
