Gingivitis is a gum disease that can cause lots of pain, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. It is caused by poor dental hygiene habits and can be very painful.  Our team is dedicated to helping every patient avoid the harmful symptoms of gingivitis.

Gum diseases like gingivitis can be prevented by regularly brushing and flossing your teeth. Most of the time this will keep plaque from building up and causing infection. Give us a call with any questions!
