Do you think I have gingivitis?

I think I might have gingivitis. Every once in a while when I floss, my gums bleed. I easily get bad breath. Also, at the very top of my gums, near my lips, it's a redish color. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that color up there or not. The rest is pink and normal. What do you think? I'm going to try to get a dental appointment soon. Thanks!

  1. WoW!!!  You do have Bad Breathe.


  2. Gingivitis is just a mild inflammation of the gums....and from what you described, is what you have...

    Just make sure you brush well, especially at the gum line with a SOFT bristled tooth brush, and floss and the rest of the gums will be pink in no time!!

    Glad you are concerned......see your dentist regularly to make sure you catch problems while they are small.....

    good for you!
