Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it may be time to schedule a dental exam:

✔️ Bleeding when brushing or flossing

✔️ Red or swollen gums

✔️ Persistent bad breath

✔️ Receding gums

✔️ Increased tooth sensitivity

These can be early signs of gum disease, one of the most common oral health concerns affecting adults. Early treatment can help prevent more serious dental problems and protect your long-term oral health.

At Ashley Harrison DDS, we provide preventive dentistry and periodontal evaluations to help patients maintain healthy teeth and gums.

If you’re looking for a Chico dentist who prioritizes prevention and patient education, we’re here to help.

Is tongue scraping good for oral health? In many cases, yes.

Your tongue can hold onto bacteria, food debris, and buildup that may contribute to bad breath and an unhealthy oral environment. Tongue scraping can help remove some of that buildup and may help improve breath freshness and overall oral hygiene.

While tongue scraping is not a replacement for brushing, flossing, or routine dental cleanings, it can be a helpful addition to your daily oral care routine.

At Ashley Harrison DDS, we love helping patients build healthy habits that support long-term dental health and gum health.
