Your gums play a large role in your overall oral health. That’s why it’s essential to have them healthy, strong, and intact in order to reach oral hygiene goals! Unfortunately, millions of people in the United States alone are affected by varying severities of gum disease. This makes pocket reductions necessary in some cases.
