You need your gums to help keep your teeth in place, protect your tooth roots from decay and to help your smile look its best. But your gums also keep your body safe from the bacteria in your mouth that can contribute to serious overall health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and breast cancer. If you have noticed the signs of gum disease in your smile, call James A. Morgan DDS, PC at 801-374-8744. We will schedule you for an appointment with our dentist, Dr. James Morgan, for gum disease treatments in Orem, Utah.
