Gingivitis is one of those strange terms that most people
have heard of, but not everyone knows exactly what it means to your dental
health. It is very serious, but because
it is generally painless people ignore it unlike a toothache. As a matter of fact, it often gets neglected
until it is too late. Researchers have
shown a direct link of gum disease to diabetes and heart disease. Now do we have your attention?
What should you look for?
If your gums bleed even in the slightest when you brush or floss get to
a dentist immediately. If you notice a
redness or swelling in your gums do not hesitate. Gingivitis can be reversed through frequent
brushing, daily flossing, and regular cleanings by a professional. The alternative to ignoring gingivitis is
eventual loss of your teeth and oral surgery.
