Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is a common problem affecting many adults. It causes inflammation, redness, and sometimes bleeding of the gums. Left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more serious gum disease that can lead to tooth loss.
At Dr. T Dental Studio, we offer comprehensive gingivitis treatment to help you maintain your oral health.
Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, often goes unnoticed due to its subtle symptoms. However, being aware of these signs can help you catch the condition early and prevent it from progressing to a more serious stage.
Common symptoms of gingivitis include:
This is one of the most noticeable signs of gingivitis. Healthy gums are typically pink and firm.
Gums that bleed easily when brushing or flossing are a strong indicator of gum inflammation.
Persistent bad breath, even after brushing, can be a symptom of gingivitis.
Gums may appear puffy or receded, exposing more of the tooth root.
In some cases, you may experience increased sensitivity in your teeth.
Our Gingivitis Treatment Approach
During your initial consultation, Dr. Tasic will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to diagnose the severity of your gingivitis. Based on the diagnosis, we will recommend a personalized treatment plan that may include:
A thorough cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup, reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
This can help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.
We’ll provide guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques to maintain good oral hygiene at home.
In some cases, dietary modifications may be recommended to reduce inflammation and promote healthy gums.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are crucial to maintain healthy gums and prevent gingivitis from returning.
Your smile is an investment in your health, not just your appearance—take care of it daily.
Addressing gingivitis promptly offers a range of advantages for your oral and overall health:
Effective gingivitis treatment eliminates harmful bacteria, reduces gum inflammation, and promotes healthy gum tissue regeneration. This leads to fresher breath, reduced gum bleeding, and a more comfortable smile.
Early intervention prevents gingivitis from progressing to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can result in tooth loss.
By addressing gingivitis, you can improve the appearance of your gums and teeth, leading to a more attractive smile.
Treating gingivitis can help reduce the risk of developing serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Early treatment of gingivitis is generally less invasive and more affordable than treating advanced gum disease. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings can help prevent gingivitis and save you money in the long run.
