Asked by Wiki User
It probably means they're infected. Don't worry, if you brush your teeth regularly it should go away. They might be a bit sensitive for a while, and will probably bleed very easily.
What you can do if you have gum disease?
Asked by Wiki User
Brush your teeth and use floss and mouthwash twice a day!! This will only help ease the pain of it, but the only way to get rid of gingivitis is to have your teeth removed
Clarification:
Having your teeth pulled is absolutely NOT the only way to get rid of gingivitis. There are several types of treatment and/or surgery for this gum disease that does not involve pulling your teeth. And if the gingivitis is not severe, it can sometimes be treated by a "deep root" cleaning, which is done at your dentist's office under mild sedation. The deep root cleaning is where they clean your teeth well below the gum line, which is often all that is needed to treat it.
To prevent gingivitis, brush and floss daily. Brushing alone will not clean between the teeth, nor will it remove the plaque that builds up at the gumline, which results in gingivitis.

How long does it take to develop gum disease?
Asked by Wiki User
Gum disease begins with bacterial growth in your mouth and it causes destruction of the tissue that surrounds your teeth if not treated properly.
The main cause of gum disease is plaque, which causes the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed during tooth brushing.
Other causes are:
- Bad habits such as smoking.
- Poor oral hygiene habits, such as not brushing and flossing regularly.
- Also the family history of dental disease can be a contributing factor for the development of gum disease.

Is pyogenic granuloma dangerous?
Asked by Wiki User
If you are otherwise healthy, a pyogenic granuloma in the mouth is not particularly dangerous. It is simply a localized area of acute inflammation in the gum tissue with highly vascular (lots of blood vessels) exuberant tissue growth as a defense mechanism. Once the source of the infection has been removed, the inflammation will be resolved. Sometimes a minor surgery needs to be performed to remove the benign tumor. See your dentist or dental hygienist for proper treatment. To see what a typical pyogenic granuloma looks like in the mouth, click on the RELATED LINK below.)
