Gingivitis – What You Need to Know About This Disease
Gingivitis is a very common illness that affects the gum tissue or gingiva. The gingival tissue becomes red and swollen and you may experience pain and bleeding while brushing or flossing your teeth. If the early symptoms are ignored it may cause the gums to recede, leaving more of the teeth exposed. If it progresses and is not stopped, this disease can lead to periodontitis which can cause permanent.
Be sure that you effectively remove the plaque from you teeth and gums on a regular basis. Plaque is a sticky residue that forms on you teeth. If it is allowed to remain on your teeth it will release a toxin that damages your teeth and gums. Everyone is different and even brushing and flossing on a daily basis may not be enough to stop or prevent gum disease.
