Swollen Gums Treatment
Who cares about swollen gums, it’s such a trivial issue, right? WRONG!
Taking care of your teeth and gums is not only essential for good oral health but also responsible for your overall cardiovascular health. The plaque in the gums and teeth may also be related to the plaque in the arteries. Patients with gum disease are 2-3 times more prone to having heart attacks than the ones without.
Brushing isn’t enough to prevent swollen gums, which can be a sign of a more serious problem.
