ORAL CARE & GINGIVITIS
A COMMON CONDITION CAN TURN UGLY
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.
Even more concerning, new studies suggest that over time, periodontitis may affect the health of your entire body. 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.
NEXT: PERIODONTITIS >Emerging science suggests an association between periodontitis (advanced gum disease) and broader health problems, but a cause and effect relationship has not been established. LISTERINE® Antiseptic is not indicated to treat periodontitis.
