Treatment of gingivitis dentistry Ivano-Frankivsk

Gingivitis can be local, when a separate area is affected, or generalized, when almost all the gums are affected. At Ali Dental, attention is paid to identifying risk factors: dense dental deposits, uneven fillings, uncomfortable orthopedic structures, hormonal changes. Properly selected treatment of gingivitis at this stage allows you to return the gums to their natural color, reduce sensitivity, eliminate bleeding and stop the progression of the inflammatory process.

Treatment of gingivitis: when to see a dentist

Most patients initially experience discomfort: the gums hurt, there is a burning sensation, the brush seems to «scratch» along the edge of the teeth. Often, the smell is additionally disturbing, which does not disappear even after careful hygiene and the use of rinses. In such situations, treatment of gingivitis ceases to be a matter of only appearance and becomes an important step for comfort in everyday life.

Most often, patients describe the following symptoms:

• regular bleeding gums when brushing or biting off harder foods;
• swelling, redness of the gums, soreness when touched;
• periodic bad breath that does not go away after brushing and rinsing.

In pregnant patients, gingivitis often worsens against the background of hormonal changes, and in patients at risk (smoking, chronic somatic diseases) the course may be more pronounced. At Ali’s Premium Dental Care, this is taken into account when selecting a regimen so that the treatment of gingivitis is effective and safe in a specific clinical situation. During the consultation, the periodontist assesses whether it is a chronic or acute variant, as well as whether deeper structures are involved.

What procedures are included in the treatment of gingivitis at Ali’s Premium Dental Care

At the Ali Dental clinic, the treatment of gingivitis begins with an examination and assessment of the degree of inflammation. The doctor pays attention to the condition of the gums, the presence of soft and hard plaque, the quality of fillings and crowns. If necessary, photos are taken to monitor the dynamics, the intensity of bleeding and sensitivity is specified. Based on this data, a plan is drawn up, which combines professional manipulations and changes in daily care.

Usually, the treatment of gingivitis at Ali Dental includes several stages:

• professional removal of soft plaque and supragingival deposits, correction of hygiene skills;
• local antiseptic treatment, use of drugs that reduce inflammation and swelling of the gums;
• individual selection of care products: medical rinse, soft toothbrush, sometimes an oral irrigator.

This combination of professional help and home work allows you to get sustainable results in the treatment of gingivitis.
