If you\u2019re worried about gingivitis in your life, it\u2019s probably for good reason. When our instincts tell us something is wrong, it\u2019s usually smart to follow them. For the best protection and treatment for gingivitis, our Lincoln dental center<\/a> is the number one place to be. Here are some tips to combat this gum disease:<\/p>\n

When looking for symptoms of gingivitis, it\u2019s important to pay close attention to your gums. Your teeth usually won\u2019t give you any clues to any gum disease you may have, so pay attention to these other negative aspects.<\/p>\n

Swollen or puffy gums <\/strong>– You should be able to make an observation of how thick your gums are compared to normal. Large and puffy gums are one of the most common signs of early gingivitis, and catching it fast can save you a lot of headaches down the road.
\nDark red or dusky gums <\/strong>– Discoloration is another major symptom of gingivitis. Dark red gums allude to a higher risk of bleeding and sensitivity. If you can\u2019t tell yourself, our Lincoln dental center<\/a> can help you out with diagnosing.
\nBad breath <\/strong>– While bad breath can seem like a normal occurrence for when you wake up or haven\u2019t brushed for a while, constant bad breath can indicate some sort of gum disease. This is usually due to poor dental hygiene. An Altoid can\u2019t save you here, since you\u2019ll usually need serious dental assistance.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to know what causes gum disease, so you can prevent it in the future. If you have gingivitis<\/a> and choose to utilize our Lincoln dental center, you\u2019ll want to practice better dental habits so you don\u2019t see it again. Gingivitis can be caused by the following:<\/p>\n

-Plaque forming on your teeth
\n-Overall poor dental hygiene
\n-Bad diet and smoking
\n-Old age
\n-Genetics<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, you can\u2019t really control your genetics. Gum disease can be passed on<\/a>, but you can take serious actions to prevent it. Brushing and flossing every day can seriously help prevent tooth decay or gingivitis. A healthy diet can do wonders for the condition of your teeth and reduce the amount of potential plaque buildup in your mouth. At the end of the day, frequent dental visits are the safest option. With our advanced technology and constantly updating methods, we care a great deal for our patients and are dedicated to providing exceptional care whenever we can.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also review your dental history, as there may be some clues to key us in on what you\u2019re experiencing.
