One of the reasons that gingivitis is often so confusing is the fact that you may see products on the market that claim to cure it. You might see a mouth rinse that states it can cure your gum disease. You may see toothpastes or other treatments that promise this, as well. However, once inflammation begins, you’re not going to be able to get it to go away without our help! Schedule a checkup and cleaning and we will direct you from there!
Our team knows that you may expect to see some extremely obvious signs that gingivitis has taken hold of your gums! However, you might not see a single change or feel anything different as the issue begins. This can make things confusing. It’s also why we don’t suggest you “wait until something changes” to schedule preventive care with us. Set up checkups like clockwork, so we find and cure the issue for you before it causes damage.
You may hear so much about gingivitis that you don’t realize it can become very dangerous for your smile. Why is that? If you treat it, the problem will go away and you won’t really have to think about it again (unless you get a bit lazy with your dental care). However, if it’s not treated in time, it will transition from a mild inflammation into a full-blown gum disease and periodontal problem that can damage and destroy gum tissue, ligaments, bone, and even cause tooth loss. Now you know: Treating it right away will offer exceptional protection.
