Increasingly common and mostly linked to our dietary habits.
Soreness and bleeding gums are the most common signs. Tooth decay often follows suits or is co-existing.
Simple remedies I recommend are:
1) plenty of vitamin C - citric fruit and/or squash etc. apply a dose of vitamin C direct to your gums and cleanse the mouth too
2) mouthwashes - get to the areas where toothbrushes cannot reach
3) a good toothbrush that is not harsh to your gums but effective - electric ones seem to be more help than manual nowadays
4) anti-inflammatories if particularly inflamed and sore gums
