Gingivitis is a common gum disease that can be avoided by removing plaque buildup. Once diagnosed with gingivitis it is important to maintain excellent oral hygiene.
Symptoms of gingivitis are redness, tenderness, and swelling of the gums. Some other warning signs are bleeding gums while brushing or flossing.
If you notice any reoccurring symptoms of gingivitis, schedule an appointment with a member of our team.
Why Strive For Healthy Gums?
Having healthy gums is so important. Gums protect the roots of teeth which in turn prevents against bone and tooth loss.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that once the gum line starts to recede it doesn’t grow back. Gumline restorative surgeries are available but take time to repair and heal so it is best to take care of your gums. Keep your smile looking its best by maintaining excellent oral health!
