The dentists and team at Southern Shore Dental in Goulds are dedicated to giving you the information you need to help keep your gums and teeth healthy for a lifetime.
When you brush your teeth, you are removing plaque build-up and bacteria from your teeth and gums. When you do not brush regularly, plaque builds up and can lead to gum disease and tooth decay. It can also severely irritate the gums.
Daily flossing and regular brushing are vital to the maintenance of healthy teeth and gums.
