Do you feel acute tooth sensitivity to temperature, sugar, or acid? One common cause is the recession of your gums, which can expose the roots of teeth. Read on to learn more.

Receding gums, or gum recession, result from harsh brushing to teeth grinding. Discover the causes and treatments for this condition.

Proper brushing takes at least two minutes - that's right, 120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long. But, it's not just how long you brush for that's important.

The key to preventing and controlling gum disease is brushing around and under the gumline where bacteria and plaque tend to accumulate. Learn more here.

Among many other benefits, dental implants can also prevent jaw degeneration. Without a tooth to hold onto, bone and tissue can deteriorate - implants offer an opportunity to promote healthy tissue growth.

Some dental problems can develop quietly before you notice any symptoms. A routine exam could be the key to catching a small issue before it becomes a bigger one.

Here are 5 reasons not to skip your dental exam:

1. Small problems are easier to fix:
Cavities, gum disease, and other dental concerns can become more complicated when they're left untreated.

2. What happens in your mouth doesn't stay in your mouth:
Your oral health is connected to your overall health, making routine dental care an important part of taking care of yourself.

3. Every exam includes an oral cancer screening:
Regular screenings give your dental team an opportunity to look for unusual changes that may need further evaluation.

4. We check more than just your teeth:
Your gums, bite, existing dental work, and overall oral health are all important parts of your exam.

5. Prevention can cost less than treatment:
Routine care can help identify concerns early, potentially helping you avoid more extensive—and costly—treatment down the road.

So, if it's been a while since your last exam, consider this your friendly reminder! 💙
