Affecting almost half of Americans over the age of 30 (1), Gingivitis is a type of gum disease caused by bacteria that turns sugar into acid, and eats away at our teeth.
It is possible to have gum disease without experiencing any symptoms. Regular dental checks are the only way to make sure you do not have gum disease.
Depending on the severity of the gum disease, several treatments can help restore your gum health. Left untreated, gum disease can spread throughout your mouth, causing infections, bad breath, and eventually tooth loss.
