What Do Gums Do? 🤔

Your teeth get all the attention, but did you know your gums are just as important? Gums are the pink, soft tissue that hold your teeth in place and protect them from germs. Let’s learn why healthy gums = happy smiles!

What Do Gums Do? 🤔

Gums are like pillows for your teeth—they keep them safe and secure. When gums are healthy, they:

  • Hold teeth in place so they don’t wobble or fall out.
  • Keep germs out, acting like a shield against bacteria.
  • Help teeth grow strong by supporting them from the roots.

What Happens If Gums Get Unhealthy? 😟

If gums don’t get enough care, they can become red, swollen, or even bleed. This is called gingivitis, and it happens when plaque builds up along the gumline. If left untreated, it can lead to bigger problems, like gum disease, which can make teeth weak or even fall out. Yikes!
