Visiting your Gilbert dentist is a matter of health, not just some task that you maybe should consider.

Your Gilbert Dentist is a Healthcare Practitioner

As we covered previously, if you don’t visit a dentist, you could find an abscess forming near a tooth going bad.  This is a sign of an infection.  There are only a few millimeters separating your mouth from your brain.  Infections can easily spread through your sinuses, and cause bone loss, ultimately, they can penetrate your brain.
If you think we’re bluffing, consider this. If you have gingivitis, you increase your risk of heart disease by 20%. It is because the body’s systems are interconnected.

Gingivitis Symptoms

Here is some more information about gingivitis from the Mayo Clinic:
“Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease (periodontal disease) that causes irritation, redness and swelling (inflammation) of your gums. Because gingivitis can be mild, you may not be aware that you have the condition. But it’s important to take gingivitis seriously and treat it promptly. Gingivitis can lead to much more serious gum disease (periodontitis) and eventual tooth loss.
The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene. Good oral health habits, such as brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily and getting regular dental checkups, can help prevent gingivitis.Healthy gums are firm and pale pink. If your gums are puffy, dusky red and bleed easily, you may have gingivitis. Because gingivitis is seldom painful, you can have gingivitis without even knowing it.
Signs and symptoms of gingivitis include:
Swollen gums
Soft, puffy gums
Receding gums
Occasionally, tender gums
Gums that bleed easily when you brush or floss, sometimes seen as redness or pinkness on your brush or floss
A change in the color of your gums from a healthy pink to dusky red
Bad breath
Most dentists recommend regular checkups to identify gingivitis, cavities (caries) and other dental conditions before they cause troubling symptoms and lead to more serious problems. If you notice any signs and symptoms of gingivitis, schedule an appointment with your dentist. The sooner you seek care, the better your chances of reversing damage from gingivitis and preventing its progression to periodontitis.” [READ SOURCE] The sooner you take care of a problem, the less severe a problem tends to be.  So ask yourself this.  Would you rather have a healthy mouth and an overall healthy body, or would you rather experience pain, tooth loss, and other problems.  I think the case is made for visiting a dentist in Gilbert.
