Gingivitis Treatment

Gingivitis Treatment - Oral+ Serres

Gingivitis Treatment

is the earliest and most common form of gum disease. It is caused by the accumulation of dental plaque and bacteria around the gumline, leading to inflammation. Unlike periodontitis, gingivitis does not affect the bone supporting the teeth and is completely reversible when treated early.

Symptoms of Gingivitis

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
  • Bad breath (halitosis)
  • Sensitivity along the gumline

Goals of Treatment

The aim of gingivitis treatment is to remove the bacterial biofilm, reduce inflammation, and restore gum health before the disease progresses to periodontitis.

Treatment Methods

Why Early Treatment Matters

If left untreated, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, a much more serious and irreversible condition that damages the supporting bone and can eventually lead to tooth loss.
