You can ask your dentist to tell you for sure and rule out anything else. But, the fact remains that most people have gum disease.
Dental professionals tell us that about 75% or 3 out of every 4 people do. They see it every day. Therefore, they might not tell you if they see it, because it is so rampant that it has become 'normal' to them.
But it is not 'normal' and you should be concerned. Eventually, when things get bad enough, your dental professional will probably suggest an expensive treatment. So, try not to wait until things get to that point.
There are two resources that I (disclosure) wrote:
1. How To Stop Gum Disease In 4 Easy Steps get it here
2. What You Should Know About Gum Disease get it here
Both publications can provide you with critical information that you likely do NOT already know. Perhaps they can even empower you to help yourself avoid the aforementioned expensive treatments. Protecting yourself and your family are very important.
Why lose teeth if you don't have to? Oh, did I forget to mention that gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss?
Gingivitis is just the beginning stage of gum disease. Take it seriously. Save and protect your teeth and dental health.
Sincerely,
David Snape
