Oral Health

Great oral health starts with healthy gums. The team at Williams Lake Smiles aims to educate all patients on proper prevention and early detection to ward against gum disease.

What are healthy gums?

• They are light pink in colour (darker for people with darker complexions)
• Are stippled, much like the surface of an orange
• Are not tender or swollen
• Don’t bleed when brushing or flossing

How can you maintain healthy gums and prevent gum disease?

• Brush and floss daily.
• Visit your dentist regularly.
• Follow your dentist’s instructions for any special needs you may have.

Proper maintenance for your smile will allow you to keep a beautiful, healthy smile while reducing the need for dental restoration over time.
