Southport Dental | Brush Your Teeth and Gums

BrushingGumsIndianapolisA number of studies link gum disease to your overall health. Brushing your gums is just as important as brushing your teeth. When you brush your teeth, also brush gently into the gums in a circular motion. When you brush the gums in a circular motion, the brush gets into the pockets of the gum to remove and pull out bacteria.

Exercise care when brushing so as not to injure the soft gum tissue. It’s very easy to use too much pressure. Try to find and use a brush with extra soft bristles with rounded ends, which are perfectly adequate while reducing the chances of irritating your gums. The two most important gum care practices to use are regular teeth brushing and cleaning between your teeth to keep your teeth and gums healthy. This helps prevent both tooth decay and gum disease.

Our friendly and professional staff is always available to answer questions about your dental health and about the dental services we recommend for your treatment.

What our patients are saying about us.

My dentist was on vacation and left a message to contact Dr. Mills of Southport Dental in case of an emergency. I had an extremely bad toothache which was making me very sick. I was pleasantly surprised when they said they could see me that very afternoon. I was very impressed with all of the office staff and especially with Dr. Mills. He took quite a bit of time to examine my tooth and explain what he felt the problem was and how he was going to treat it. By that evening I was feeling much better. Even though it is a longer drive for me I am planning to switch to Dr. Mills because I was so impressed by the service overall.
