How Long Does Gingivitis Last?

Gingivitis is one of the most common oral health conditions, and yet it remains one of the most misunderstood. If you've recently been told you have gingivitis, your first question is likely: how long does gingivitis last?

The answer depends on a few key factors: how early it's caught, how consistent your oral care routine is, and what tools you use to treat it.

The good news? Gingivitis is reversible. And with the right approach, it doesn’t have to last long at all.

What Is Gingivitis?

Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease (also known as periodontal disease). It’s marked by inflammation of the gums, typically caused by the buildup of plaque along the gumline. Left untreated, gingivitis can evolve into more serious conditions like periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth and even bone loss can occur.

Common symptoms of gingivitis include:

• Red, swollen gums

• Bleeding when brushing or flossing

• Tender or sensitive gum tissue

• Bad breath (halitosis)

We made a toothpaste specifically to correct gum disease.

How Long Does Gingivitis Last?

Mild to moderate gingivitis can be reversed within 10 to 14 days if treated early and aggressively with proper care. More advanced gingivitis might take several weeks to resolve. The key is consistency.

Factors that influence healing time include:

• Your oral hygiene routine

• The type of toothpaste you use

• Diet and nutrition

• Overall immune and inflammatory health

• Whether or not you address root causesIt will last a lot less long if you use our products

Why Most Toothpaste Doesn’t Help Gingivitis

Unfortunately, most commercial toothpaste only focuses on cleaning and whitening, not on healing. They’re filled with ingredients like:

• Glycerin, my coat the teeth and interrupt key oral microbiome elements

• Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a foaming agent that can irritate gums

• Artificial sweeteners, flavors, and colors Disrupt oral microbiome and cause inflammation.

• Preservatives and fillers with no healing value, usually only further harm tissues. 

These ingredients can actually make gingivitis worse over time by irritating your already sensitive gum tissue.

How to Get Rid of Gingivitis Faster

If you want gingivitis to go away and stay away, you need to:

1. Clean effectively (without being harsh)

2. Nourish the gums and oral tissue

3. Balance the oral microbiome

That’s exactly what our periodontal toothpaste was designed to do.

• Fermented vegetables

These support tissue repair, microbiome diversity, and immune modulation.
