Gingivitis Treatment At Home

Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease. It is possible to do gingivitis treatment at home with considerably less expense than you might expect. When caught in early stages, gum disease is very treatable, and can be fully reversed. As an addition to commonly performed oral care such as brushing and flossing, gingivitis treatments are the perfect complement to home care of gum disease.

In the first stages of gum disease, it is easy to miss the signs. A little bleeding from your gums or the occasional sore spot can be written off as anormal.a It is important to state that no amount of bleeding is normal, and should be taken seriously. It may be nothing, but why take a chance? Gum disease is associated with increases in heart disease, stroke, diabetes and pre-term deliveries, just to name a few. The bacteria that cause gum disease lie against your gums all the time, and can easily use the capillaries in the gum to travel elsewhere in the body.

If you leave gingivitis untreated it will eventually progress to periodontitis. This much more serious condition requires extensive, often painful, treatment. While home care should be part of treating periodontitis, much of the initial procedures are carried out at the dentist’s office over a period of weeks or months. When periodontitis gets very serious you can lose bone density and eventually teeth. Surgery may be the only way to correct the problem if you let it go too long.

Part of your daily oral regiment should include gum care. Even those that brush and floss religiously can get periodontal disease. You just can’t clean well enough below the gum line with traditional methods. Gingivitis treatment can be started prophylactically, as well as after the disease process begins. After all, a clean mouth is a happy mouth.

  3. QUESTION:
    At home treatments for Gum Disease or Gingivitis?
    I havent been brushing my teeth on a regular basis, and I have been noticing that my gums have been hurting ans sore and swollen.
    Im ususlly very good at dental hygene, but I have been stressed and busy and just forgot to brush regularly lately.
    I am brushing good now, but my gums bleed a little when I do and even afterwards, they throb and hurt and are swollen.
    I mad an appointment for a teeth cleaning but I cant go for 2 weeks. Im brushing a lot, but What can I do in the meantime to make this Gingivitis go away? are there any mouth rinses I should do, or any home remedies??
    Would a salt water rinse help at all??

  4. QUESTION:
    How to treat mild gingivitis and shade anomalies?
    I just got my braces off that I had had on for nearly three years. When the braces came off, my orthodontist told me I had a mild case of gingivitis, and to get my teeth professionally cleaned, and then do some at home treatment. It’s not a bad case, not by what I saw when I looked it up, at least. The gums are slightly enflamed and a little sore.

    I’ve already booked an appointment for my cleaning with my dentist next week, but is there anything I can do now? I don’t understand what he meant by “at home treatment.” What kind of treatment?

    Also, there are spots where my brackets had been on my teeth, like the shading is different from the edges of the tooth to the center. Is there any good at home way to treat this, or will the cleaning take care of it? I use a stain treating toothpaste once a day anyway, will this just go away?

    Thanks in advance!

    • ANSWER:
      home treatment means you will be put on a program of care to make sure that the gingivitis does not re occur after your cleaning. Basically you will be shown how to properly brush and floss., and you will have to follow through with it. As far as the spots, they may be able to be polished off. When you go in for the cleaning, be sure to ask about them.

  5. QUESTION:
    what would be a good conclusion for this essay?
    Without proper care of the teeth and the gingiva, periodontal disease could easily take over anyone’s mouth and could possibly mean the end to the teeth. This serious disease can be prevented or treated at an early stage by simply brushing and flossing.

    Periodontal disease is an infection of the structures that surround the teeth. It begins with food debris and plaque not being brushed or flossed off and they turn into bacteria that worsens and leads to puffiness in the gingiva. Plaque must be taken off the teeth by brushing and flossing twice a day to prevent infection, but it only takes 24 hours for plaque to build up again. A few things that can lower your defenses, and help cause some form of periodontal disease, are: smoking, diabetes, stress, medicine, pregnancy, puberty, AIDS, HIV, cancer, and even diet, to name a few. Soda and certain types of food can also affect the teeth.

    Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease. Most people do not find out they have this condition until a dentist advises them of it. Signs of gingivitis are: red gums, inflamed gums, bleeding while brushing and/or flossing, sensitive gums, possible bad breath, or bad taste. Gingivitis can easily be treated by brushing, flossing and using a mouth wash and no real pain is usually associated with gingivitis, which means that gingivitis is easily reversible with good oral home care and professional treatment.

    After gingivitis is left untreated, it can turn into mild periodontitis, moderate periodontitis, and finally advanced periodontitis. With time, plaque can build under the gum line and toxins can spread. The bacteria causes puffiness and redness, which is the body’s way of warning you something is wrong. Signs of these forms of periodontitis are: more pronounced bleeding, longer looking teeth, gum boils, abscesses, periodontal pockets, and mobility of the teeth. When some of these signs are reached, there might still be a chance of keeping the teeth if the person see’s a dentist as soon as possible and gets treatment, but this is when the structures that support the teeth are broken down and pretty much destroyed. After the disease is continually untreated, the teeth may become so mobile that they might have to be removed. This disease can affect anywhere from one tooth to all thirty-two teeth. After the age of 35, three out of four adults have some form of periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss.

    If treatment is needed, a root planing or a scaling might be the procedures to be considered. Scaling is a procedure to remove plaque and calculus around the tooth surfaces and root planing is the smoothing of the tooth surfaces to promote re-growth and reattachment of the gingiva to the tooth.

    • ANSWER:
      It is quite evident that taking good care of one’s teeth by routine brushing and flossing will prove to be beneficial to him or her in the long run. By taking pride in the teeth at an early age, tooth loss and other unpleasant, unhealthy situations of the mouth can be deterred.

    • ANSWER:
      Nicely done. I’m guessing you are in upper-level high school or possibly in junior college, from the quality of the writing.

      One suggestion, though. The expression “longer looking teeth” comes across as awkward. I’d recommend rewording the phrase.

      Best of luck with the remainder of the essay.

      Gingivitis and periodontitis are potentially serious diseases that are easily preventable. Patients/students/people should be aware that these diseases could result in tooth loss. With simple dental care, including brushing and flossing regularly, periodontal disease is easily preventable, and mouths and teeth everywhere are happier.

  8. QUESTION:
    The toothache pain decreased but do i need antibiotic treatment ( Expert opinion only please )?
    I am an allopathic doctor.I had bad teeth since childhood.So i got multple caries. My second molar became caried. Then i had a filling done but i feel that the tooth was slightly cracked then.After several treatments, I had a metallic crown placed over it. Recently the crown came off, about 5 months ago. But the silver filling is stll there. I havent had a root canal operation done yet.

    Now 4 days before , i had a tooth ache. it was persistent, though not exactly throbbing in nature. I didnt take pain killers to decrease the intensity of pain so that if the pain increased i knew i was dealing with something serious. Also my brother ( who is also an allopathic doctor ) suggested not taking Antibiotics so that i dont form a dental abscess ( due to the pus formed after treatment ). I tolerated the pain and the pain subsided. I used to feel that it was a gingivitis though it used to pain severely when i used to press my tongue on it. I feel the pain was due to the crack in the tooth but i may be wrong here. The pain decreased in intensity everyday since the last 4 days. Today however i have minimal pain on pressing my tongue on the tooth ( which i feel suggests that the nerve is still alive ) but i have a swelling of my gum on the lateral side. I tried pressing it but it doesnt look fluctuant. Pressing on it suggest its firm. The pain has decreased in intensity considerably but this swelling has arose. I am concerned about this swelling.I have a slightly tender submandibular Lymph node ( 1 cm in diameter ) which i feel is only a reaction to the acute inflammation.

    My questions are
    1) Is this dental abscess ( even though pain has decreased and i feel that nerve is still alive , or just a body reaction to an inflammation resulting in swelling )

    2) I know i need to go to a dentist soon but i have an exam in 8 days. And i will be returning to my home country in 2 months. I dont have a insurance here in US. Can i wait for this much time using conservative treatment.

    3.) Can i take antibiotics now ? I am concerned if there is any infection i am overlooking. I dont want a dental abscess at any cost. Also i cant afford to go to a dentist soon enough because of my exam of 2 days and i dont want a nagging dental pain before my exam. ( My pain is already of less intensity ). If i take antibiotics now then will it develop into a dental abscess ? I dont have any fever now.

    4) The swelling wasnt there for 3 days but suddenly when i woke up today, its there. Whats the reason.

    For your reference i am attaching a picture of the swollen gum

    • ANSWER:
      go to a dentist immediately

  9. QUESTION:
    Another gingivitis question?
    I’ve been struggling with gingivitis for years. I’ve always been able to keep it under control but for the past week or so almost the whole of my gums have been swollen and red; they also bleed when I brush my teeth, of course. At the beginning of this ordeal, they didn’t hurt at all nor were they uncomfortable. I’m unable to visit a dentist because I don’t have insurance and I’m broke, so I’ve been treating the condition as thoroughly as I can at home. This has involved a variety of methods including rubbing baking soda and peroxide on my teeth, rinsing with salt water, drinking mint tea, rinsing my mouth with peroxide, rubbing peppermint and clove oils on my gums, massaging my gums, as well as brushing twice a day (pouring peroxide on my toothbrush) with fluoride toothpaste, flossing at night, and rinsing with fluoride mouthwash once a day.

    Now, after four or five days of these treatments, my gums are much less swollen, they don’t bleed as much, and they seem to be getting better overall, but the longer these treatments go on, the more pain they cause – brushing and rinsing with anything is almost torture, not to mention eating; when they don’t hurt, they itch, but that is much more tolerable.

    My actual question is, is this pain and itching a good sign or a bad sign? They say that when a wound itches it means it’s healing. Does this condition feel worse before it feels better?
    You know, I would love to see a dentist, I really would, but not having insurance and being broke really makes it difficult to do so.
    Please explain to me how I’m supposed to see a dentist when I don’t have any money.

    • ANSWER:
      CHRISTOPHER,

      IT’S ADMIRABLE THE WAY THAT YOU CARE FOR YOUR GUMS, BUT THE REASON WHY GINGIVITIS KEEPS RETURNING EVEN IF FLOSSING IS DONE IS BECAUSE THERE ARE HARD TARTAR DEPOSITS, AKA CALCULUS, BELOW THE GUM LINE CLINGING TO YOUR TEETH.
      AS LONG AS THESE REMAIN THE GINGIVITIS WILL NEVER HEAL AND DISAPPEAR.
      THE ITCHING/PAIN YOU FEEL IS BECAUSE OF THESE DEPOSITS OF TARTAR AND ONLY DENTAL INSTRUMENTS USED IN REMOVING THEM WILL RETURN YOUR GUMS TO HEALTH.
