Gingivitis is a bacterial disease. It can be noticed by sensitivity, swelling, pain, and discoloration of the gums. If left untreated, it can lead to serious dental problems in the future. Gingivitis occurs when oral hygiene is not followed closely.
In its early stages, the disease can be managed with attention to oral hygiene, regular brushing, and flossing. If it’s advanced, it should be treated by a specialist.
If gum inflammation is noticed, it should not be ignored and should be treated.
At DentGEN Oral and Dental Health Center, our specialist dentists successfully treat gum inflammation. This prevents the disease from progressing and causing more serious problems.
Gum inflammation is a bacterial disease, and if it becomes infected, the patient experiences pain. Additionally, it can cause discomfort while chewing and speaking. It can also compromise the aesthetic appearance. Successful treatment is essential to eliminate these problems.
Gum inflammation treatment is planned based on the specific problem the patient is experiencing. With meticulous treatment, the disease is treated effectively. To prevent recurrence, it’s crucial to maintain good oral hygiene after treatment.
Regular dental checkups allow for early diagnosis of the disease, which can lead to faster and easier treatment. When examining how gingivitis is treated, it is seen that it occurs in the following stages:
The patient consults the dentist with complaints such as pain and swelling in the gums, and an initial examination is performed.
The examination determines the stage of gingivitis, and a treatment plan is developed.
If the disease is in the early stages, a dental cleaning is performed. Any plaque and tartar on the teeth are removed.
If the gingivitis is in the advanced stages, treatments such as flap therapy are applied. Infections that reach down to the root of the tooth are surgically removed.
Dental problems caused by gingivitis are treated.
If tooth loss occurs due to the inflammation, implants are placed to replace the missing tooth.
After the treatment is completed, the patient is invited for regular checkups. They are also informed about the necessary steps to maintain their oral and dental health.
Gum health is very important for overall oral health.

Gingivitis is a common condition among oral and dental diseases. The primary reason for its prevalence is patients’ inadequate attention to oral hygiene. Causes of gingivitis include:
Lack of oral hygiene and lack of regular tooth brushing
Use of harmful substances such as cigarettes and alcohol
Genetic factors
Diabetes
Long-term use of certain medications
Pregnancy
Structural defects in the teeth
Gingivitis Treatment Duration
The duration of treatment for gingivitis varies from patient to patient. Depending on whether the disease is affecting a single gum or multiple gums, treatment can be extended.
Gingivitis in its early stages can be treated with a single dental cleaning in a single visit. However, if the inflammation has spread to the roots of the teeth, treatment takes longer.
The success of the treatment is more important than its duration.
