Dental Care, What is the cause of Gingivitis ?
I am 20 and I just got dental benefits though my job. Using my plan benefits I went to see a dentist. The dentist is telling me that I have Gingivitis. Even though I have not been to the dentist is about four years due to cost and not having dental insurance, I always took really good care of my teeth and gums by brushing and flossing daily.
I think this dentist is just trying to get me pay more for deep cleaning I do not need to have. What is the cause of Gingivitis? Can you get it when you have good dental habits? Should I see a different dentist?
