Gingivitis treatment focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria to reduce gum inflammation. If treated early, gingivitis is completely reversible. However, if left untreated, it may lead to periodontitis, which can result in tooth and bone loss.

The treatment includes professional deep cleaning and improving oral hygiene practices to eliminate bacteria buildup.

✔ Prevents tooth loss – Stops gum disease from progressing
✔ Protects tooth roots – Strengthens gums to hold teeth firmly
✔ Eliminates bad breath – Removes bacteria that cause foul odor
✔ Reduces gum bleeding – Prevents discomfort while brushing
✔ Stops gum disease at an early stage – Prevents complications like periodontitis

With early treatment, gingivitis can be fully reversed, ensuring healthy gums and teeth.

Professional gingivitis treatment involves a series of procedures to eliminate infection and restore gum health:

1️⃣ Scaling and Root Planing –

• Scaling: Removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and below the gum line.
• Root Planing: Smooths rough spots on the tooth roots, preventing bacterial growth and helping gums reattach to teeth.

2️⃣ Curettage –

• Removes unhealthy gum tissue from infected areas, allowing the gums to heal properly.

3️⃣ Flap Surgery –

• If deep infection is present, gingival flap surgery is performed to reach the tooth roots and bone for thorough cleaning.

4️⃣ Bone Grafts –

• If bone loss has occurred, bone grafts help restore bone structure, providing stability for teeth.

Each procedure is customized based on the severity of gingivitis and the patient’s oral health needs.
