Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums (gingiva), which typically result from an accumulation of films of bacteria on the teeth. However, if not properly treated, gingivitis can advance to a more severe condition known as periodontitis that can eventually lead to teeth loss.
Gingivitis is characterized by change in color of the gums from pink to red, swollen gums, and bleeding after brushing teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the best solutions to Gingivitis. Ensuring proper and regular brushing using antiseptic mouthwash along with flossing have been found to be of great help in handling gingivitis.
