The most common cause of gingivitis is plaque accumulated on teeth, causing inflammation of the surrounding gum tissues. Gingivitis is common, and anyone can develop it. You could get it from: smoking, dry mouth, poor nutrition, including vitamin C deficiency, and conditions that decrease immunity.

Hope this answers your question. With good oral health habits, such as brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily, and getting regular dental check-ups, you can help prevent and reverse gingivitis. For more info visit:

They provide the connective force necessary to move the teeth and jaw into the proper alignment. The final part of braces are interarch rubber bands, which are used to adjust bite and jaw position. Not every child who gets braces will need interarch rubber bands, as it depends on the child's existing jaw alignment and what the orthodontist recommends.

The American Dental Association recommends that you visit your dentist at least once a year to get a routine examination and cleaning. But I would recommend twice a year. Many dental insurance policies will cover two cleanings per year, but few people take full advantage of their benefits.

If any of the causes of yellow teeth have left you unsatisfied with your smile, you have many choices of whitening products. Professional teeth whitening is done at your dentist’s office and includes the application of a bleaching agent directly to your teeth. Special lights or lasers may also be used to enhance the performance of the bleach. Depending on the condition of your yellow teeth, you may have one or several treatments that range from approximately 30 minutes to an hour.
At-home teeth-whitening options include over the-counter whitening strips and gels, both of which use peroxide-based whitening gel. Initial results are typically seen in just a few days and last for up to twelve months for products. These options are more economical.
