If you suffer from gingivitis, you should get it treated<\/a> quickly. This issue grows into a severe infection when left alone for too long. Still, maybe you don\u2019t know whether you have gingivitis or not. You could easily miss the symptoms or mistake them for something else. Luckily, your Morganville dentist is here to help out a bit. Read on to learn about four warning signs of gingivitis and why to take them seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Chronic Bad Breath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal to have bad breath once in a while. Your mouth could smell from drinking coffee, or perhaps the culprit is a fragrant meal. However, things change when the odor is chronic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, one of gingivitis\u2019 telltale signs is persistent bad breath. This fact stems from how the disease\u2019s bacteria behave once they gather. As these microbes feed on proteins in your teeth and gums, they release sulfur gas. Such gas is rather smelly when it\u2019s exhaled from your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeding Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a foul smell isn\u2019t the only symptom to watch for. Keep an eye out for bleeding gums as well. When gum tissue gets bloody, you likely have a case of gingivitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason comes down to the infecting bacteria. When they damage your gums, your body sends more blood to the affected area. Doing so helps you fight off the infection. That said, this effect can cause your gums to bleed when you brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum Inflammation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your gums won\u2019t feel normal if you have gingivitis. On the contrary, they\u2019ll get inflamed by your condition. The core trait of gingivitis is gum inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, a buildup of plaque will irritate your gums. This irritation can lead to inflammation \u2013 your body’s way to stave off an infection. Should that happen, your gums will become red, swollen, and sensitive. They\u2019ll also feel tender when touched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overly-Long Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To check yourself for gingivitis, don\u2019t just look at your gums. Try to examine your teeth, too. If they seem longer than usual, you may have early gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that gingivitis slowly erodes your gum tissue. As this erosion occurs, your gums will start to recede and shorten. The recession will then expose your tooth roots if it goes unchecked. From there, your teeth will seem unnaturally long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By knowing these warning signs of gingivitis, you can better protect your gums. Consult your dentist about treatment if you notice their presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
