Gum inflammation treatment

We treat gum inflammation and gingivitis

Gingivitis is the most common bacterial inflammation caused by dental plaque. The gums (gingiva) become congested with blood, swollen, shiny, red and easily bleed when touched. Its chronic course is often without significant discomfort. Patients most commonly notice bleeding gums during mechanical stimulation—for example while brushing their teeth or chewing food.

How does gingivitis manifest?

bleeding gums when brushing teeth or eating
red, swollen and sensitive gums
increased sensitivity when touched
unpleasant feeling or pressure in the gum area

How can gum disease be prevented?

brush teeth at least twice a day with a toothbrush
use dental floss, interdental brushes and toothpaste containing fluoride and antibacterial ingredients
visit your dentist and dental hygienist regularly

With insufficient oral hygiene, the first signs of inflammation can appear within just a few days. If plaque is not removed regularly, the inflammation may gradually develop into a more serious gum disease.

With early diagnosis, proper daily oral care and regular visits to a dentist and dental hygienist, gingivitis can be effectively treated and prevented from progressing into more serious periodontitis.
