Identifying Gingivitis
The earliest signs of gingivitis are swollen gums that bleed easily. Bleeding that occurs when brushing or even eating crunchy foods should never be ignored. Left untreated, gingivitis can quickly advance to periodontitis, a much more serious form of gum disease.
In addition to swollen gums that bleed easily, gingivitis may result in:
- A bad taste in the mouth that will not go away
- Chronic bad breath
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Gum discoloration
These issues should be brought to the attention of our Bergenfield family dentist as soon as they occur. Simple steps can often reverse gingivitis, helping protect the health and appearance of your smile well into the future.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of gingivitis, please contact Dumont Cosmetic Dental today and schedule an appointment with Dr. Perlmutter. We accept patients from throughout Bergen County and surrounding areas of New Jersey.
