Gingivitis & Oral Care

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is a lot more common than you may think. About 50% of US adults have some form of gingivitis. Gingivitis, while common, may progress to a more serious condition called periodontitis if left untreated.

The good news is that you can help prevent gingivitis with an oral care routine that includes brushing, flossing and rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash.
