What Is Gingivitis?
Gingivitis is the most common and mild form of gum disease and can cause irritation and inflammation of the gums. Most frequently brought on by a buildup of plaque, gingivitis is easily treatable if it is diagnosed soon enough. Some indications of gingivitis are bad breath, red or swollen gums, pain in the gums, and bleeding when flossing or brushing. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to more serious and developed stages of periodontal gum disease. If you believe you may have gingivitis or a more serious case of gum disease, contact Rise and Shine Dentistry in Rock Hill, SC to schedule a dental exam with Dr. Klein. One of our primary goals is to restore your oral health and safeguard your smile.
How Is Gingivitis Treated?
Dr. Klein will assess your teeth and gums during your dental exam before reviewing your treatment options. In most cases, he will recommend treating gingivitis with a professional dental cleaning and better oral hygiene at home. Throughout the dental cleaning, our dental hygienists will utilize ultrasonic and hand instruments to scale tartar and plaque deposits from the teeth. Our team will also review recommended oral hygiene techniques and demonstrate how to brush and floss your teeth to help encourage the healing of your gums. With proper dental care and consistent oral hygiene routines at home, gingivitis usually improves. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which might require periodontal procedures.
What Are the Benefits of Gingivitis Treatment?
Gingivitis treatment in Rock Hill, SC not only treats early gum disease but provides several other health advantages. A few of the advantages patients can glean from gingivitis treatments are:
- Gum health: Actively stops the advancement to more severe periodontal diseases
- Better-quality breath: Reduces bad breath caused by bacterial growth
- Aesthetic advantages: Maintains a sparkling smile and more healthy gums
- Tooth protection: Minimizes the possibility of tooth loss caused by receding gums
- Overall wellness: Reduces the threat of diseases associated with oral infections, including diabetes and heart disease

Thank you Rise and Shine Dentistry
My experience at this dental office in Rock Hill was outstanding. Despite visiting during the hectic holiday season, the team handled my numerous dental concerns efficiently. What set this place apart was the staff's commitment to being a patient advocate. They went above and beyond with my stubborn dental insurance provider, ensuring a smoother and less stressful process than I anticipated. For anyone in Rock Hill seeking a new dental care provider, I recommend Dr. Klein and his team. Having encountered my fair share of dental challenges, I found their pricing to be exceptionally reasonable, especially in comparison to other practices and without compromising the quality of care. It's a hard act to balance and they did it well. My initial visit coincided with the practices transition under new ownership. Signs of change were evident, by my next appointment just a week later, I witnessed significant improvements in both the lobby and treatment rooms, enhancing overall comfort and ambiance. Dr. Klein and his team exceeded my expectations, solidifying my decision to make them my dental care provider going forward.
My visit at Rise and Shine Dentistry was nothing short of amazing. The front desk staff were very welcoming and warm. The cleaning I received from Mindy was so calming and informative. I didn’t have any of the nervousness or anxiousness you may feel during dental appointments. I drove an hour from home to Dr. Klein’s office simply based on my past experiences at his previous location. 5 stars from start to finish!
By far the best dental experience I have ever had! I was seen on time, the staff was super friendly, and I would highly recommend Dr. Klein to anyone looking for a new dentist! Also, Brooke, Robyn, and Shanah were amazing! Thank you Rise and Shine Dental!!!
Dr. Klein is a wonderful dentist! He is professional and thorough answering any questions that arise. His team is welcoming and friendly, and the space is immaculately maintained. Highly recommend Rise and Shine to anyone in the area!
