Gingivitis:
Gingivitis is medically classified as an inflammation of the gums, but it can lead to more serious gum conditions and should be treated promptly and effectively at the first sign in order to prevent any further complications. That's because gingivitis is an entry level form of periodontal disease, which attacks the gum tissue and eventually works its way to the jaw bone and causes permanent damage including loss of teeth.
Signs of gingivitis
Gingivitis is relatively easy to diagnose on your own, as the warning signs are very visibly evident. If you suffer from gingivitis, some of the warning signs are:
- Bleedinggums
- Bright red or purple appearance to gums
- Gums that are tender when touched
- Mouthsores
- Swollengums
- Shinyappearancetogums
If you suspect that you have gingivitis, the first thing you should do is examine your current oral hygiene regiment, and see if it is up to par for treating gingivitis. Typically, gingivitis is caused by bacteria buildup in the mouth that goes untreated. The good thing about bacteria buildup in the mouth is that it's easy to treat - if you have the right plan in place
Dangers of gingivitis
If gingivitis goes untreated, it can lead to a number of other oral infections and conditions including:
• Periodontitis
| • Gumabscess
| • Guminfection
| • Jawabscess
| • Toothloss
| • Trenchmouth
|
While all these diseases can be very serious, the good news is that gingivitis is relatively easy to treat. If gingivitis is taken care of in a timely manner, it could mean hundreds of dollars in savings on dental procedures to help correct the more serious diseases that gingivitis can lead to.
