 Gingivitis: Understanding and Prevention 

Welcome to San Ramon Family Dental, where Dr. Rupam Khanna and our team are dedicated to your oral health. Today, let's talk about a common issue that many people face - gingivitis. 

Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums, often caused by plaque buildup on the teeth. Symptoms may include red, swollen gums that bleed easily when brushing or flossing. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more severe gum disease.
