Q: What is gingivitis?

Gingivitis is early-stage gum disease – inflammation caused by plaque build-up along the gumline. Symptoms include red, swollen gums that bleed when brushing. The good news? It's reversible with improved oral hygiene. Gingivitis, gum disease, and periodontal disease all need careful attention. Medical-grade toothpaste and mouthwash for gum disease treatment, like Perio-Aid Active Control, complement your dentist's care between appointments effectively.

Q: What causes gum disease?

Plaque is the primary culprit – sticky bacteria that hardens into tartar if not removed daily. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, vaping, diabetes, and certain medications increase risk. Left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, affecting bone and potentially causing tooth loss. Gum disease treatments that complement your dentist's recommended course of treatment offer the best care. Placing medical-grade oral care into your daily routine helps control and prevent progression.

Q: Can I cure gum disease without a dentist?

Early gingivitis can be reversed with excellent home care, but established gum disease requires professional treatment. Your dentist removes tartar and assesses damage – essential first steps. Between appointments, medical-grade products support healing and control. The best toothpaste and mouthwash for gum disease treatment – like our Gum Intensive Care Kit – complement professional care effectively. Think partnership, not replacement. Home care maintains progress; dentists tackle what you can't reach.
