Gingivitis (70% of People Have It!)

Gingivitis is an extremely common condition that causes bleeding gums, swelling or inflamed gums, and often painful gum tissue. What most people don't know about Gingivitis is that it is actually one of the early stages of a much more serious disease called Periodontitis, otherwise known as gum disease.
2 Different Kinds of Gingivitis:
1. Plaque induced Gingivitis is the most common and is caused by lack of oral hygiene and proper home care.
2. Non-plaque induced Gingivitis can be viral, systemic, or caused by local factors such as chemicals.
Bleeding gums can be an early sign of Periodontitis which is a very serious condition that can lead to bone loss in your jaw as well as potential tooth loss if not taken care of quickly.
If the Gingivitis is causing your painful and inflamed gums, the good news is it can be stopped by taking good care of your teeth and gums at home! Proper brushing and flossing techniques are critical for improving the health of your gum tissue.

You mentioned taking a sample of the plaque and determining whether the bacteria is pathological. Very interesting - I was not aware bacteria testing could be done. So, maybe in a future release could you say how that testing is done (outside lab?) and how you treat if the test results are negative ... for those of us who try very hard to maintain proper care yet have ongoing problems.

[@taesty2496]

@@miliandealba5095 can you share what your dentist told you to prevent it?

[@jackcarraway4707]

Along with flossing, brush your entire your mouth, not just your teeth. Brushyour gums, your tongue (go as far back as you can and don't forget to brush underneath as well), the roof of your mouth and inner cheeks. You want to hit every nook and cranny as you can. It's also important to use a tongue scraper to sweep up all those germs that aid gingivitis too. I highly recommend using an electric toothbrush to accomplish this. They're far more productive than manual toothbrushes and most are timed, so it lets you know when to change quadrants. Mine cost $30 and has lasted about half a decade now. This step is optional, but you can further prevent gingivitis by using an ALCOHOL-FREE (alcohol dries the mouth which bad for the teeth and you don't need to feel the burn to know the germs are being killed) antiseptic mouthwash after brushing. Although it's a little pricey, I really like using Therabreath's healthy gums as my night mouthwash. It's primarily for treating gingivitis, but that means it helps prevent it as well. To put things in perspective how effective this is, I skipped seeing my dentist for a year (something I don't recommend, but finding time can be difficult) and the first time I went he told me this is the best he's ever seen my teeth and I've been going to his office for well over a decade. To recap: 1. Floss after every meal. 2. Brush your entire mouth using an electric toothbrush twice per day. 3. While not mandatory, it helps to rinse with alcohol-free mouthwash after brushing.

[@josephrnemeth]

Hygienist here, usually samples in general practitioners office are taken when none of the regular at home methods are working. In a specialist office they may take samples a lot more often. And yes I can definitely tell if someone has gingivitis right away as soon as they are in my chair. 'Deep Cleaning' is done to someone who has a lot of calculus buildup. If you go every 3-6 months, there shouldn't be enough for a deep cleaning.

I can get floss in between the teeth BUT he made the gold crown to long, it goes into my gums too deep. Food gets trapped in every cranny and my gums get swollen and it still bleeds. Even to use floss it bleeds. When my gums get irritated they all get white like your friend that says he just needs to brush more. But I do get lichen planus looking threads at the back of my mouth. I have 7 gold crowns in my mouth, maybe 3 with root canals. The VA* was scaling my teeth prior and giving chlorahexidine cos they said I had periodontal disease but periodontists outside the va* say no I do not kit.
