Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums, usually caused by a buildup of dental plaque — a sticky film of bacteria — along the gumline.
Main points to know
Cause: Plaque buildup irritates the gums, leading to redness, swelling, and bleeding.
Symptoms:
Red, puffy gums
Bleeding when brushing or flossing
Tenderness
Bad breath
Risk factors: Poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes (pregnancy, menstruation), certain medications.
Why it matters: Gingivitis itself is reversible, but if untreated it can progress to periodontitis, which can cause gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss.
Treatment & prevention
Professional cleaning – removes plaque and tartar that you can’t get at home.
Daily brushing – at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Daily flossing – removes plaque between teeth.
Antimicrobial mouth rinse – can help reduce bacteria.
Lifestyle changes – quit smoking, eat a balanced diet, manage health conditions.
