No need to be frightened to go to the dentist ever again,everyone makes you feel totally at ease. 😁

Red, swollen gums or bleeding when you brush could indicate that you have gum disease or gingivitis. Gingivitis can be easily treated, but you have to up your oral hygiene game to retain your healthy gums.

Left untreated, gingivitis can quickly progress into more severe periodontitis, affecting the area around the tooth and could lead to eventual tooth loss. Periodontitis is treatable, but you should always brush regularly and floss at least once a day to make sure your gums don’t reach this point of unhealth.
