Health Services Dentistry

You may have gingivitis if your gums are swollen and tender. Gingivitis is the clinical term for gum inflammation, and it is typically the first sign of gum disease. Plaque bacteria accumulate beneath your gum line in the early stages of gingivitis. This makes your gums swollen and may even cause them to bleed while brushing.

Your gums may become painful and irritated, but they remain firmly in place. You have not yet suffered irreversible bone or tissue damage as a result of advanced gum disease. Gingivitis does not always progress to gum disease, but recognizing warning signs now can help you avoid tooth loss later on. It’s another way bi-annual visits to your dentist keep you healthy.

What Are The Causes?

The plaque bacteria in your mouth produce toxins and poisons. When your body sends enzymes to fight the infection in your gum tissue, the enzymes mix with the bacteria and break down the bone and connective tissue that hold your teeth in place. This is referred to as periodontal gum disease. As time goes on, the pockets around your teeth deepen, and bone and gum tissue are destroyed.

When periodontitis progresses to that point, your teeth may begin to loosen. Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. But gum disease is both preventable and treatable. If your gums are causing you pain, don’t hesitate to contact the best gums specialist in Yonkers. You have no excuse now that you’ve discovered a team of dentists who are open on Saturday. Getting treatment for gingivitis is better than later fighting gum disease and tooth loss.
