Gingivitis( causes, signs and symptoms

-

 


Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums.

The most common cause of gingivitis is the accumulation of bacterial plaque between and around the teeth. 

The plaque triggers an immune response, which, in turn, can eventually lead to the destruction of gingival, or gum, tissue. It may also, eventually, lead to further complications, including the loss of teeth.


Gingivitis is a non-destructive type of periodontal disease, but untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis 

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS 


In mild cases of gingivitis, there may be no discomfort or noticeable symptoms.


Signs and symptoms of gingivitis might include 


▫️Tender gums that may be painful to the touch

▫️Halitosis, or bad breath

▫️Inflammation , or swollen gums

receding gums 

▫️Red swollen gums

▫️Tender Gums

▫️Gum bleeding when brushing or flossing 

TREATMENT 

Treatment involves care by a dental professional, a possible scaling and polishing and other check up.

Giving up is so easy and sometimes we just need to find a petty reason not to. Like someone calling us a failure we want to prove wrong.
