Gingivitis: The Silent Threat to Your Gums - Learn How to Fight It!

Have you ever noticed your gums bleeding a little when you brush your teeth? Don't ignore it! This could be the first sign of gingivitis, a common but insidious condition that, if left untreated, can lead to more serious problems.

What is gingivitis and why should you be concerned?

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums caused by the accumulation of plaque, a sticky film made up of bacteria. Although often painless in the early stages, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, a serious infection that destroys the bone and tissues that support your teeth, even leading to tooth loss.

How to recognize gingivitis:

* Colour change: Healthy gums have a beautiful pink colour. If your gums are dark red or have a darker shade, this is a worrying sign.
* Swelling and bloating: Healthy gums are firm and fit snugly around the teeth. If you notice swelling or a change in the shape of the gums, don't neglect it.
* Bleeding: The most characteristic symptom is bleeding when brushing, using dental floss or even spontaneously.
* Other symptoms: Mild pain, bad breath, a feeling of blood in the mouth, or even receding gums in more advanced cases may appear.

The solution exists!
Gingivitis is reversible with proper treatment and care. At We Care Dental, our specialized team is here to help you regain your gum health and maintain a bright smile.

What does the treatment include?

* Deep cleaning: Removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth and below the gum line.
* Antimicrobial treatment: Use of special mouthwashes or other products to eliminate bacteria.

We Care Dental Offers Advanced, Non-Surgical Solutions Periodontitis, also known as gum disease, is a serious infection that damages the soft tissues and bone that support your teeth.

Understanding the Silent Threat: Periodontitis

Periodontitis often develops without noticeable pain, making it a silent threat to your smile. It's crucial to recognize the signs:

Persistent bad breath: Even after brushing, you might notice an unpleasant odor.
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums: Gums should be pink and firm. Redness, swelling, or bleeding, especially when brushing or flossing, are red flags.
Receding gums: Your teeth may appear longer as the gums pull away.
Loose teeth: A sign of bone loss and weakened support structures.
Changes in bite: The way your teeth fit together may shift.
