Defining Gingivitis Gilbert, AZ

Definition:

Gingivitis is a very common form of gum disease. It causes irritation, redness and swelling, or inflammation, of your gums. In some cases, gingivitis can be very mild and you may not be aware that you have the condition. It is important to take gingivitis seriously and treat the problem promptly. Gingivitis can lead to much more serious forms or gum disease, or periodontitis, which then could lead to tooth loss.
A common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene. Good oral health habits, such as regular professional checkups and daily brushing and flossing can prevent this.
