National Gum Care Awareness Month

An important part of our mouth is our gums. Gums protect teeth by covering the sensitive roots, and if not properly taken care of, may cause harm to your oral and overall health. Daily brushing and flossing are important, but regular dental visits are the best way to ensure your gums are healthy. Dental visits detect early signs of gum disease and may help prevent effects such as gingivitis and tooth loss. To locate a Delta Dental participating dentist select ‘Find a Dentist’ above.
