At the Centre of Dental Excellence in Stanmore (HA7), we believe that a healthy smile is about more than just looks, it’s the foundation of your overall health and wellbeing. While many patients focus on the appearance of their teeth, healthy gums are equally important. Neglecting them can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and even affect your general health.
In this blog, our dental specialists explain why healthy teeth and gums matter, what can go wrong, and how our wide range of treatments can help keep your smile strong for life.
Why Are Healthy Teeth and Gums So Important?
Preventing Gum Disease – Bleeding, swollen, or tender gums are often the first signs of gingivitis (early gum disease). If untreated, this can develop into periodontitis, which damages the bone supporting your teeth and is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
Protecting Your General Health – Research has shown strong links between gum disease and conditions such as: Heart disease, Diabetes, Stroke.
Respiratory illness – By maintaining healthy gums, you’re not just protecting your smile, you’re safeguarding your whole body.
Boosting Confidence – Healthy gums are pink, firm, and support your teeth beautifully. Along with strong, well-aligned teeth, this creates the confident, natural smile many of our patients want.
