The first stage of gum disease, also known as gingivitis, is an inflammation of the gums usually brought on by a bacterial infection. If your home care oral hygiene routine isn’t up to par, you may notice a bit of blood in the sink when you brush or floss. If left untreated, gingivitis can cause the gums to separate from the teeth. At Ardas Family Dental we provide periodontal services to treat this condition, but we would much rather you prevent the problem before it arises.
Plaque is bacteria that constantly form on the surface of your teeth. When plaque isn’t removed, it turns into tartar which only our team of hygienists will be able to remove. The key to preventing gingivitis is eliminating as much plaque as possible by brushing after every meal and flossing at least once a day. Additionally, eat a well-balanced diet and visit the dentist regularly. Professional cleanings are extremely important in preventing gingivitis because your hygienist can significantly remove more plaque than you are able to at home.
