Gum recession can cause sensitivity, root decay, and bone loss. We will reposition your gum tissue over the exposed tooth root by performing tissue sculpting or a gum graft. Tooth sensitivity is an early warning sign that your gums are receding.
Retainers Are Meant To Be Worn! Remember to wear your retainers as they're designed to keep your teeth aligned after removing your braces! Failing to incorporate your retainer in post-orthodontic care can result in needing braces again.
Inadequate oral hygiene can contribute to gum disease, but it isn’t the only cause. Crowded teeth are harder to clean and can lead to tartar buildup. Open-mouth breathing can dry out the mouth and change the natural bacteria’s composition, leading to gum disease.
Breastmilk & formula contain natural sugars that bacteria in your mouth love to feed on. After feeding your baby, be sure to gently wipe your baby’s gums and mouth with soft and clean cloths. This keeps bacteria away as well as getting your child used to oral hygiene.

What Is A Bone Graft? If you have missing teeth, over time you may experience jaw resorption that affects your ability to be a candidate for dental implants. Bone grafting stimulates bone growth in specific areas where required, paving the way for dental implant placement.

@Mark80643280 I haven’t heard the negative press regarding mouthwashes. I would say the mouthwashes without alcohol are safer to use on a daily basis in most cases.
