“What helps with gingivitis?”

Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease that causes irritation, redness, and swelling of your gingiva, the part of your gum around the base of your teeth. To treat gingivitis, it's important to practice good oral hygiene. This includes regular professional dental cleanings and improved oral hygiene at home between visits. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and possibly using an antibacterial mouth rinse can help control plaque on your teeth. If you have misaligned teeth or old orthodontic devices, your dentist may suggest additional dental work. It's also recommended to avoid tobacco use, as it can exacerbate the condition.

Brushing and flossing daily, and keeping your dental appointments. In addition, if your teeth are very crowded this would be a factor that could contribute to gingivitis, so putting your teeth in better alignment (braces or clear aligners) would help prevent gingivitis.
