A member asked:
How long does it take for gingivitis to develop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-4 weeks: It depends on the person's oral hygiene habits. With smokers and those who don't brush or floss it can set on within a couple of weeks. For the rest of us it's usually 2-3 months before it can develop.
