Teeth that are crooked or overlap diminish your smile and your confidence. Your numerous serious photos can attest to that. However, did you know that misaligned teeth also affect your oral health? This is because teeth that overlap are harder to brush and floss properly, and this increases your risk of developing tooth decay, cavities, or gum disease. If you’ve considered straightening your teeth, the good news is that there are many great options that can accomplish your goal with discretion. Your dentist in Cumming explains the difference between Invisalign and 6-Month Smiles and how they might benefit you.
You spend a great deal of time caring for your teeth to ensure they last a lifetime; however, your gum health is equally as important. They are the soft tissue that surrounds the teeth to form a seal and are connected to the underlying bone to provide support. When proper oral hygiene is not maintained, you can develop an infection, known as periodontal disease. With half of adults having the condition, it is vital to floss daily and maintain your regular dental appointments with your dentist in Cumming. If damage should occur, Dentistry at Windermere offers laser gum treatment to restore your oral health.
