Dental for Less More on Gingivitis
A person with gingivitis will normally have red and puffy gums, and their gums will most likely bleed when they brush their teeth. Generally, gingivitis resolves with good oral hygiene (such as longer and more frequent brushing, as well as flossing). Some people find that using an antiseptic mouthwash, alongside proper tooth brushing and flossing also helps.
In mild cases of gingivitis, patients may not even know they have it, because symptoms are mild. However, the condition should be taken seriously and addressed immediately.
