Gingivitis Treatment

Gingivitis Treatment at Dental Clinic Dhanbad:

Gingivitis is a gum disease that occurs when plaque, tartar, and bacteria build up on your teeth and irritate the gums. It's the earliest stage of periodontal disease, which can lead to bone loss in the jaw if left untreated.

Gingivitis:
Symptoms of gingivitis include:
  • Swollen, puffy, or tender gums
  • Gums that are bright red, dark red, or darker than usual
  • Gums that bleed easily, especially when brushing or flossing
  • Bad breath
    • Gingivitis can be caused by:
  • Poor dental hygiene
  • Pregnancy
  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Smoking
  • Certain infections and body-wide diseases
  • Misaligned teeth, rough fillings, or ill-fitting mouth appliances
  • Use of certain medicines
    • To treat gingivitis, you can:
  • Brush your teeth twice a day, or after every meal or snack
  • Use a soft toothbrush and replace it every three months
  • Floss daily
  • Use a mouth rinse to reduce plaque between your teeth
