Your gums play several extremely important roles. They help keep your teeth in their proper alignment, prevent cavities, and add the right accent to the appearance of your smile. Moreover, the bacteria in your mouth can contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular problems and have even been linked to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Your gums form the first line of defense between that bacteria and you.
