Essentially gingivitis is an insidious disease. A variety of factors such as mechanical, chemical or physiological traumas are responsible for the development of this disease. Almost 98% of the population has either clinical or sub-clinical gingivitis. The most commonly first noticeable sign of gingivitis is a red or bloody toothbrush. Since the disease is so painless, most people will tend to ignore its presence until it is advanced to a more serious illness.

Is not painful but it will cause bleeding gums, the sign of gingivitis: your gum look redish colour along the gum margin, the cause of it is thats a lot of plug stay along your gum margin, you need to brush your teeth in correct way. Or you can get advice from the gum specialist.

Not brushing often and properly. You also must floss daily.
