Gingivitis: To treat gingivitis, you first have to have spotless teeth. No plaque and no calculus. If it has been more than a year since your last professional cleaning at a dental office, you're overdue. Failure to treat gingivitis may result in periodontitis and loss of your teeth. Call a local dentist and have yourself examined.
