🦷 Gum pricking (bleeding on probing) is an important sign of gingival inflammation.
📌 In gingivitis, gums become red, swollen, and bleed easily due to plaque accumulation.
📌If left untreated, it may progress to periodontitis, where infection damages the supporting bone and periodontal ligament, leading to pocket formation, tooth mobility, and eventual tooth loss. Early diagnosis, professional scaling, and good oral hygiene can help prevent disease progression and maintain healthy gums. 🪥😁🦷
