In addition to celebrating Valentine’s Day and President’s Day, we want to take a moment to recognize Gum Disease Awareness Month. We recognize Gum Disease Awareness Month in February as a way to help others become more aware of this common disease. More than half of American adults are affected by gum disease.
At Noble Oaks Dentistry, we are passionate about helping our patients have optimal oral health. This is why we are passionate about routine oral hygiene visits and encourage our patients to schedule any necessary treatments in a timely manner. Between visits to our office, it is important to be mindful of your oral health and regularly check for anything that may seem like it has changed with your teeth and gums. One thing you can check for is bleeding gums. If you notice red or pink in the water after brushing, there is a good chance you have bleeding gums.

At Noble Oaks Dentistry, we want you to have optimal oral health. One of the best ways to do this is to make wise choices in your everyday life that do not negatively affect your oral health. Unfortunately, some patients make poor lifestyle choices, and it can negatively impact your oral health. While these habits might not be affecting your oral health now, they will most certainly lead to problems in the future.
We often stress the importance of establishing and maintaining a regular oral hygiene routine. Patients who follow through with this typically have fewer oral health problems and issues when compared to other patients.

When you visit our office for a hygiene examination and cleaning, we do more than inspect your mouth for decay. We also look for other conditions that can bring about severe damage to your oral health. One of these conditions is gum disease. Detecting gum disease on your own is virtually impossible because it doesn’t cause discomfort, leaving your mouth open to severe consequences if not detected in the early stages and treated in a timely manner. Untreated gum disease can progress to a point where it can become a serious threat not only to your oral health, but to your overall health as well.
