Gingivitis Treatment
Early care that protects the health of your teeth.
Gingivitis is the most common gum disease caused by dental plaque. It typically appears as redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums, especially during brushing.
Although often painless at first, it should not be overlooked.
How does gum inflammation develop?
- Dental plaque contains bacteria that irritate the gums
- These bacteria trigger an inflammatory response
- With insufficient or irregular cleaning, plaque accumulates
- Inflammation can develop within a few days and become chronic
What increases the risk of gingivitis?
- Insufficient or irregular oral hygiene
- Smoking, which weakens the gums’ defenses and impairs healing
- Certain systemic diseases
- Hormonal changes (e.g. during pregnancy), which increase gum sensitivity to irritation
Gingivitis is easy to treat and highly manageable when addressed early.
What are the common symptoms?
- Bleeding gums during brushing or biting
- Red, swollen, and sensitive gums
- A feeling of discomfort in the mouth
- Occasionally bad breath
How is gingivitis treated?
- Professional dental hygiene treatment
- Removal of plaque and tartar
- Guidance on proper home care
- Recommendations for suitable oral care products
With proper care, gingivitis is fully reversible.
Ozone therapy
Ozone therapy is an effective antibacterial method used as a complementary treatment for gum inflammation, periodontitis, and bad breath. It reduces bacteria and supports healing, with its use always determined individually by a specialist.
Why is early action important?
Untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, affecting deeper structures and potentially leading to tooth loss. Regular check-ups and proper oral hygiene are key to long-term gum health.
