Gingivitis is a bacterial infection of the gums. Brushing, flossing and using a Waterpik then mouthwash in combination is the ideal solution to removing masses of bacteria and food otherwise known as plaque on a daily basis especially before going to bed. Going to the dentist and getting your teeth cleaned every 3, 4 or 6 months as diagnosed by the dentist is the most important portion of all these things to do because Gingivitis will lead to bone loss and tooth loss without in most cases any pain or discomfort.
