The tartar and plaque build-up around the base of the teeth, causing gingivitis - inflammation, and bleeding in the gums is the first stage of severe gum disease and needs immediate attention. If you have been suffering from bleeding gums it is time to visit a dentist for a thorough evaluation of your dental health. This can be prevented by using an antibacterial mouthwash, brushing, and flossing regularly. #oralhealth #gumhealth #gumdiseases #dentalhealth #oralhygiene
