General Health Information

Gingivitis is characterized by an inflamed gum because of
infection. It is commonly cause by a bacterial plaque that builds up around the
gap of our teeth. Even though this build up is tiny and can’t be seen by our
naked eyes, it’s enough to produce foreign bacteria and toxins that cause
inflammation of the gums around the teeth. This simple inflammation if left
untreated will cause deep pockets between the teeth and might cause tooth
loss. Our bone in our jaw is the one
responsible holding our teeth in place and leaving gingivitis untreated can lead
to acute infection. But, by having a good oral hygiene, this gingivitis can easily be prevented and
you can even promote a good oral health in the process.
