What is Gingivitis?

Gingivitis is a very common and mild form of gum (periodontal) disease. Because gingivitis can be very mild, you may not be aware that you have the condition. It is due to the long-term effects of plaque deposits on your teeth. It can lead to much more serious gum disease and eventual tooth loss.

Bleeding gums
Bad breath
Bright red or red-purple appearance to gums
Soft, puffy gums

Occasionally, tender gums
