03-01-2025 - SYMPTOMS OF GINGIVITIS

Do your gums bleed? Do you see black stains between your teeth? Do your gums hurt when you eat? If any of these apply, then chances are your gums are extremely inflamed. This is a condition called Gingivitis or worse yet Periodontitis(aka Periodontal Disease).
Gingivitis and Periodontitis are caused by lack of brushing or flossing, and build up of plaque and tartar on your teeth.
The way to fix Gingivitis and Periodontitis is to brush, floss, and go to the dentist for regular cleanings OR if necessary a deep cleaning(also known as scaling and root planing).
Here at Brookhaven Family Dentistry we have skilled and gentle dental hygienists who are experts at performing regular dental cleanings(aka prophies) or more advanced deep cleanings.
