Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease where your gums may become red and swollen. They may also bleed easily during brushing or flossing. If you are experiencing gingivitis, it's time to take control over your oral health. Gingivitis can lead to more serious gum disease, called periodontitis, a much more difficult condition to treat.
