Looking for a Gingivitis Treatment in Dhanori?

Gingivitis can be a result of dental plaque or a sticky film on the teeth. If not treated on time, it may result in teeth gum swelling, gum bleeding and soreness. Gingivitis gums refer to a part of gum called Gingiva, situated at the base of the teeth, which is affected by deep tartar accumulation.

Gingivitis treatment is essential to deal with the dental obstacles in the early stages like;

• Prevention from tooth loss

• Protection of the roots of the teeth

• Control bad breath

• Reduction of gum disease from spreading in early stage

Gingivitis treatment is aimed at controlling the existing infection of teeth gum swelling from progressing. There are multiple treatments available;

• Scaling and root planing: If there is some bone loss or gums are receding, your dentist will recommend a common but rigorous deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing.

Scaling involves scraping the plaque and tartar away from the above and below the gum line. Root planing smoothens uneven spots on the teeth root where bacteria grow. This smoothening and cleaning of the surface assists the gums in reattaching to the teeth.

• Curettage: Curettage of scraping away unhealthy gum tissue from the infected area and allowing it to heal. 

• Flap Surgery: Gingival flap surgery is a procedure that allows a dentist to reach the root of your teeth and bone. It is usually performed if scaling and root planing is ineffective at removing the gum infection.

• Bone grafts: If the bone has been damaged due to the infection, bone grafts will be used to replace it. For this procedure, a small piece of bone will be positioned where the original bone was destroyed. These grafts work as a platform for the bone to grow and restore the stability of the teeth.
