Gingivitis

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that occurs due to bacterial biofilms (plaque) and is also the first reversible stage of periodontal disease. Thanks to premature treatment and by means of a correct and adequate oral hygiene, it is possible to lead to a remission of gingivitis and a complete cure of it. However, if we left this disease untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis and posterior possible tooth loss.

Gingivitis has nonspecific symptoms and manifests itself mainly from an inflammation in the form of swollen and reddish gums with purple tints (depending on the severity of the case), soft consistency, sensitivity, bleeding and pain to the touch.
