Protecting our gum tissue is not only critical to the appearance of our smile and keeping our natural teeth, it may also be imperative to our overall health. Studies keep popping up indicating the contribution of gum disease to other diseases of the body such as heart disease. Researchers have discovered that those with periodontal disease are not quite twice as likely to suffer from coronary heart disease.

Is it possible for your gum health to improve? The short answer is yes. There are basically two very important factors that contribute to your gum health. Each is very important. I'm speaking about home care and professional care. It will not due to have one done without the other, they both work hand-in-hand. If you attempt to get by on professional care alone, you are headed for trouble. Ask any dental professional and they will tell you that this is true.

When it comes to gum health and professional care, there is one kind of professional who specializes in this area. He has additional training that general dentists don't have. In addition, gum health is the focus of his practice. So you see, just like there are heart specialists, there are also these guys who specialize in gum health within the profession of dentistry.

Based on my own personal experiences in this arena, I can say that I received superb care in the periodontist's office - as far as gum health is concerned. This included the quality of the hygienists' cleaning. I found that the periodontist's office was able to provide me with quite a bit more information about making my gums healthy than my general dentist provided. In the end, you have to be careful. My dentists did not refer me. I had to refer myself to the periodontist. I'm glad that I did.

Take a look below at the bottom of this article and you will see a link to a free report on how to stop gum disease and maintain gum health. These are things that your dentist may not have told you about.
