Let's Talk Gums: The Unsung Heroes of Your Oral Health
When it comes to oral hygiene, teeth usually steal the spotlight. We're bombarded with messages about whitening, straightening, and polishing our pearly whites. From braces and aligners to whitening strips and dental veneers, the focus is almost always on teeth. But there's an equally important part of your mouth that often goes unnoticed—your gums. These silent protectors form the foundation of your smile, and on this Gum Health Day, Dipak Shah, Research Scientist from Himalaya Wellness encourages us to give them the attention they truly deserve. Your gums are more than just the pink tissue that surrounds your teeth. They're living, breathing structures that protect the roots of your teeth and the bones that hold them in place. Healthy gums create a tight seal around your teeth, preventing bacteria and food particles from reaching deeper structures, and is important to keep your overall dental health intact.
