Gum inflammation, or gingivitis, may seem mild at first: redness, swelling and occasional bleeding. Many people ignore it and hope the symptoms will disappear on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In reality, untreated gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, which may lead to gum recession, bone loss and eventually tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that gum inflammation can be both treated and prevented. HanzaDent dentists explain how to achieve healthy gums and avoid gum pain in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Removing tartar and plaque is the first step. Home care products cannot remove hardened tartar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regular professional cleaning reduces the risk of inflammation returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use dental floss or an interdental brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not forget your tongue, as bacteria also accumulate there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chlorhexidine solutions help reduce bacteria and relieve inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should only be used according to a dentist\u2019s instructions to avoid side effects, such as changes in taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A warm saltwater rinse can help soothe the gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Painkillers may be used if necessary, but only as a temporary solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People with diabetes should keep their blood sugar under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During hormonal changes, for example during pregnancy, more frequent check-ups are recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the correct brushing technique: not too hard and not too gentle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Replace your toothbrush every 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quitting smoking improves blood circulation in the gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A balanced diet is important, especially sufficient intake of vitamin C and calcium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Limit sugar consumption, as it promotes bacterial growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stress weakens the immune system and increases the risk of inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regular physical activity and good sleep also support gum health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you notice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
constant gum bleeding,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
persistent bad breath,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
gum pain or recession,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it is time to book a check-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early intervention helps prevent long-term damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prevention is always easier and more affordable than treatment.<\/strong> Professional cleaning at the clinic once or twice a year helps keep the gums healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individual recommendations.<\/strong> Our oral hygienists teach the right techniques according to the condition of your gums and teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A long-term approach.<\/strong> If inflammation keeps returning, we identify the exact causes, such as dentures, crowns or medical conditions, and offer a suitable solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The causes of gum inflammation are often linked to poor oral hygiene, but lifestyle and chronic diseases can also be risk factors.
