Consult your dentist at least once a year for a complete oral checkup (he/she may suggest scaling). Adopt good and regular oral hygiene habits Keep this in mind: Brush your teeth for 2 minutes after each meal. Brushing is essential to combat dental plaque, responsible for gingivitis. Use a soft toothbrush, which will limit the risk of gum damage. Follow proper brushing instructions: going from the gum downwards. As from the very first signs of inflammation, use a toothpaste with anti-inflammatory properties. This will reduce swelling, responsible for pain and bleeding. 1 2 Gum bleeding during brushing How does gingivitis start? What is gingivitis? What are the signs of gingivitis? Gingivitis is a gum inflammation, expressed by gum swelling and unusual redness, sometimes associated to pain and bleeding either during brushing, or even spontaneously.

There are many different signs. You must be particularly careful if you notice any of these signs and consult your dentist as early as possible: Red and/or swollen gums Persistent bad breath Pain at gum level It usually results from the build up of a deposit on the teeth, known as dental plaque, and onto which bacteria will develop, causing gum inflammation.
