Frequently Ask Question
Gingivitis is a common form of gum disease characterized by inflammation of the gums. Plaque buildup on the teeth and along the gumline is typically to blame. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more severe forms of gum disease and lead to tooth loss.
Common signs and symptoms of gingivitis include red, swollen, or tender gums; bleeding gums during brushing or flossing; bad breath; a receding gum line; and the formation of pockets between the teeth and gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek dental care to prevent the progression of gingivitis.
Preventing gingivitis starts with maintaining good oral hygiene practices. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are also essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup and detecting early signs of gum disease.
Yes, gingivitis can be reversed with proper treatment and good oral hygiene habits. When diagnosed early, professional dental cleanings and improvements in oral hygiene can effectively remove plaque and bacteria, allowing the gums to heal and return to a healthy state. However, it is crucial to address gingivitis promptly to prevent it from progressing into more severe forms of gum disease.
If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more advanced form of gum disease. Periodontitis can cause irreversible damage to the gums, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. It may also be linked to other health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. Seeking early treatment for gingivitis is essential to preventing these complications.
