[b][MEDFORD, 02/21/2018][/b] - The gums are easily one of the most overlooked parts of the body. They are the bases of teeth and as such, are just as important. Leaving gums unmaintained can lead to plaque and cavities. Over time, this could lead to more serious dental problems like gingivitis and gum disease.
The specific branch of dentistry that deals with the gums is called periodontal dentistry. My First Dental offers a variety of periodontal therapies and treatments to remedy any gum-related issues.
