The fact that: The fact that your gums do not bleed is good, assuming you brush and floss adequately. Any evaluation more than that would require a one on one personal examination.

See your dentist: Untreated gingivitis can advance to periodontitis and can eventually lead to gap between the teeth, tooth loss and other health problems. See your dentist if you suspect you have gum disease because the sooner you treat it the better.
