Gum Treatments

Gingivites is a gum infection often attributed to lapses in daily oral hygiene. However, new findings show that the onset and reversal of gingivitis are even more significant- and more complicated- than previously thought!

A study from of the University of North Carolina suggest that some people may have a genetic predispositionto developing gingivitis that makes their immune system less effective at fighting infection.

Placque build-up during the onset of gingivitis creates an overgrowth of bacteria. This sticky coating, or biofilm, that forms on your teeth above and below your gum line can harden into calculus and become resistant to brushing and flossing. The toxins released from this sticky film can irritate and inflame your gums. Your gums bleed because there is an infected wound present within your gum tissue!
