General Health Information

It is imperative to see dentist immediately if you have chronic gingivitis
as the condition is caused by an infection that may soon spread and
ultimately cause the loss of your teeth. Using the best oral hygiene
measures such as brushing regularly at least twice a day and taking
care to floss in between teeth is great prevention against gum disease
and gingivitis. However, should the gingivitis treatment utterly fail
or simply does not occur, the anaerobic bacteria may progress below the
gum line where they will cause periodontitis, an advanced form of gum
disease. In the end, gingivitis and periodontitis problems do not
simply go away on their own. Unless an antimicrobial treatment is
administered, the infection will continue to destroy gum and bone
tissue until the teeth loosen and fall from the mouth.
