Gums can change at any stage of life. They suffer if they are not getting the nutrients and care they need, and may develop issues that lead to teeth problems. Gum issues can be indicative of other health issues and should always be taken seriously.

At a previous check, my dentist said I needed to address some gum recession and gingivitis. These are very common issues, but need to be addressed with regular flossing. It was disappointing to learn that my gums were not as good as they had been before.
