Dental 4 Less, Gum Disease
Bacteria cause inflammation of the gums that is called “gingivitis.” In gingivitis, the gums become red, swollen and can bleed easily. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that can usually be reversed with daily brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. Treatment will normally include a professional cleaning of the pockets around teeth to prevent damage to surrounding bone.
