Gingivitis Treatment
Healthy teeth, happy smiles
Gingivitis treatment consists of a series of methods applied to eliminate inflammation and infection in the gums. Treatment aims to restore gum health and prevent more serious gum disease.
Gingivitis Treatment
- Professional Teeth Cleaning:
- Your dentist removes the plaque and tartar that accumulates on the teeth and gums. This process eliminates the main cause of gingivitis.
- Regular Oral Hygiene:
- Brush your teeth twice a day and use dental floss to clean between your teeth. Antibacterial mouthwashes can also be used.
- Regular Dentist Check-ups:
- Visit your dentist regularly to check your gum health and get professional cleanings.
- Healthy Lifestyle:
- Eat healthy, quit smoking and avoid sugary foods.
What are the symptoms of gingivitis?
- Gums are bright red in color
- Gums that look puffy
- Bad breath
- Constant bleeding while brushing teeth
- Gum recession
What Happens If Gingivitis Is Untreated?
If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to tooth loss. In this case, it may cause gum recession. Gum recession (periodontitis) is an important gum disease that destroys soft tissues and bones. Gingivitis may recur unless treated.
These methods effectively treat gingivitis and help prevent more serious gum diseases. You can contact us to get more information about your gum health or to schedule an appointment.
