The gums are a very sensitive part of our mouth, which are exposed to change or disease. If we do not have proper care and cleaning ideal there is a risk of plaque build up on the surface of the tooth, which will cause an inflammation in the gingiva and / or soft tissue, which is known as gingivitis.

If I have gingivitis, will I develop periodontitis?

As mentioned above, gingivitis is characterized by inflammation of the gingiva. The ideal is to go with a specialist to start the appropriate treatment, as this disease progresses and can cause the destruction of the bone, which leads to develop periodontitis, which is characterized by mobility or loss of teeth.

Gingivitis usually begins in children, because they do not brush their teeth or just do not know how to do, however, this disease can be manifested at any age.

Not only do you worry about not losing your teeth or having a clean and pleasant appearance, periodontitis will not only cause you to lose these, it is also considered a risk factor for heart attacks and digestive problems. If you follow an appropriate treatment the benefits will be:

  • Improvement of the oral state
  • Firm, firm, pink gums
  • Better taste and smell of the mouth
  • Nice smile at sight
