What Is Gingivitis?

Gingivitis is one of the most widespread oral diseases, causing irritation and redness of the gums. In some cases, the inflammation may be mild, while in others it can escalate to severe gum pain accompanied by bleeding. If the inflammation worsens, it can lead to tooth loss.

Treatment Methods for Gum Disease

Treatment methods for gum disease vary depending on the doctor's diagnosis, based on the degree and type of inflammation and whether the patient is experiencing complications. Treatment methods include:

The first method: If the inflammation is mild, this involves maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing teeth daily and using dental floss to remove food debris and any remaining deposits.

The second method: This involves medication such as antiseptic mouthwashes, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and other medications prescribed by the doctor.

The third method: This is surgical treatment. This method is resorted to in cases of gum swelling after other methods have failed or if the condition is severe.
