What is gingivitis?

Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease that causes irritation, redness, and swelling (inflammation) of the gums. It is caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth. If plaque is not removed, it can harden into tartar, which can further irritate the gums and lead to more serious gum disease.

Symptoms of gingivitis

The most common symptoms of gingivitis are:

• Red, swollen gums
• Bleeding gums, especially when brushing or flossing
• Tender gums
• Gums that pull away from the teeth
• Bad breath

Keep an eye close to any sign and changes in your gums. Do not be overconfident, it can end up hurting your dental health. If you see any of these symptoms, request a dental appointment as soon as possible to treat it right away and avoid further complications.

Causes of gingivitis

The main cause of gingivitis is the buildup of plaque. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth. When plaque is not removed, it can harden into tartar, which can further irritate the gums and lead to more serious gum disease.

Other factors that can contribute to gingivitis include:

• Poor oral hygiene
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• Hormonal changes
• Certain medications
• Stress

As you can see there are a lot of causes that contribute to gingivitis. The most important thing in these cases is to always maintain a proper dental hygiene. Visiting a dentist also helps a lot to avoid this disease thanks to cleaning and check up. More on that later, so stay tune for those tips.

Treatment for gingivitis

Gingivitis can be treated with good oral hygiene and professional dental cleanings. Good oral hygiene includes brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and flossing once a day. You should also see your dentist for regular dental cleanings and checkups.

During a dental cleaning, your dentist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. They may also recommend other treatments, such as scaling and root planing, to remove tartar that has built up below the gum line.

In some cases, your dentist may prescribe antibiotics to help fight the bacteria that cause gingivitis. Consult with our dentists at Dental del Rio in Los Algodones.

• Flossing once a day

You should also avoid smoking and manage any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to gingivitis, such as diabetes. This disease can complicate your dental health severely if you leave it unatended. It can lead to some dangerous health problem such as periodontitis. Which ends up with tooth loss and worse complications in the long run.

Complications of gingivitis

If gingivitis is not treated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more serious form of gum disease that can damage the tissues and bone that support the teeth. Periodontitis can lead to tooth loss. This is because it affects the bone in the jaw, making our teeth loose, eventually falling out. So please be aware of the signs of gingivitis and consult with a dentists as soon as possible
