Bacteria can cause inflammation of the gums called “gingivitis.” The gums become red, swollen and can bleed easily. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that can usually be reversed with daily brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. This can prevent the next stage called Periodontitis that can lead to tooth loss, also it’s a risk factor for heart and lung diseases.
