It’s that time of year again — red-nosed reindeer, Santa, strings of twinkling lights, and — for many of us — the question of what gifts to give?
Giving gifts, at Christmas time or anytime, can be a fun and rewarding experience, particularly if you choose just the right gift.
In between your trips to Alex Bratic Dental Care, you are the person responsible for keeping your smile white, bright, and healthy.
To keep your dazzling smile in tip-top condition, it is crucial that you keep up good oral hygiene habits, including brushing and flossing regularly and properly.
Gingivitis is an infection in the mouth; it is a chronic bacterial infection that begins when the bacteria in plaque (the sticky film that constantly forms on teeth) causes inflammation of gum tissue.
Gingivitis is a mild form of periodontal disease that causes red, swollen, and bleeding gums, although initially it only brings minor discomfort if any discomfort at all.
Gingivitis is typically the result of insufficient oral hygiene. The good news is that gingivitis can be reversed with a proper oral home care regimen and professional treatment when needed.
