What are the dangers of gingivitis?

Among the various oral diseases, gingivitis is an oral disease with a very high incidence. Although many people suffer from this disease, they do not take treatment because it is believed that it does not cause much harm to the body. What are the consequences if gingivitis is left untreated?

1. Gingivitis only invades the gums, not other periodontal tissues, so the teeth do not loosen, and the X-ray examination of alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and cementum is not abnormal. Mild gingivitis is more common in adolescents and adults, and if not detected early, the condition can become severe and may evolve into periodontal disease, which can be harmful to dental health.

2. Bleeding gums are often the result of gum inflammation; Inflammation is caused by tartar and tartar irritation; The formation of tartar and tartar is caused by the lack of regular and thorough removal of food debris and calcium that accumulate between the teeth and gum pockets.

3. The common hazards of gingivitis also include dental plaque, which can cause inflammation and irritation of the gums; If removed regularly, the plaque hardens and forms a build-up of minerals called tartar, which provides a place for bacteria to grow and irritate the gums.
