Prevent Gingivitis      

We spend a lot of time hearing that we should do our best to prevent gingivitis. However, rarely do we hear how to do this or get real information on why it is important. This is unfortunate because understanding the basics of gum disease goes a long way toward bolstering the healthy oral hygiene habits that prevent gingivitis.

Gingivitis is an extremely common condition, affecting an estimated 90% of the U.S. population. It is a mild form of periodontal disease in which gums become inflamed and swollen and prone to bleeding more easily. Gingivitis usually brings minimal, if any, physical discomfort; however, if left untreated, it can place you at risk for a host of more severe periodontal diseases.

Understanding Gingivitis
Thankfully, treating gingivitis is relatively easy and there are a number of steps you can take to deter or reverse the condition. Your most valuable tool is the practice of good oral hygiene, and those who brush and floss regularly are at decreased risk for infection. Yet, when these basic measures fail, additional treatment may be needed. Such treatment may take many forms, with conventional medicine leaning toward antibacterial treatment in the dentist office. However, this is not the only effective solution for gingivitis. Indeed, it can be really time consuming and expensive over the long haul to keep treating infection after the fact.
