Inflamed gums (gingivitis) are some of the most common dental problems, caused by poor hygiene and the lack of information about its consequences. This disease is a partial or overall change in color, texture and contour of the gums. Gingivitis can be treated and especially prevented through strict dental hygiene.
The treatment involves removing the plaque and/or tartar. If gingivitis is not treated correctly, it can progress to chronic periodontitis, which results in losing the damaged tooth. It all depends on the individual behavior. The treatment for periodontitis includes classic and deep plaque removal, deep curettage, applying antiseptic substances or surgery. Upon completion of the periodontitis treatment, don’t eat, drink, smoke or spit, and don’t try to suck the blood clots formed between the teeth. This will reduce the risk of bleeding and will ensure a speedy healing process.
