Gingivitis…you might think that is a cute name, but the
disease is anything but that. It is very
serious, however because it is not like the pain of a toothache we tend to
ignore it. That is a really bad idea
because research has shown a direct link of gum disease to diabetes and heart
disease. Is that enough to get you to
take this subject seriously?
Let’s get familiar with the signs of gingivitis. If your gums bleed even in the slightest when
you brush or floss get to a dentist immediately! Maybe there is just a redness or swelling in
your gums. Gingivitis can be reversed
through frequent brushing, daily flossing, and regular cleanings by a
professional. If you ignore gingivitis
you will probably eventually lose your teeth and have to have oral surgery.
You and your family deserve the best oral health care in
Chicagoland. If you live in the Carol
Stream area you cannot do better than the full service dental practice of Dr.
David Blackman DDS. His practice is
located at 400 North Gary Avenue. Call

disease must NOT be ignored any more than a toothache.
