Struggling with red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush? Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, is completely reversible with proper treatment. At London Dental Specialists, we offer professional cleanings and personalised care plans to tackle gingivitis quickly and effectively. Many patients ask about home remedies, medication options, and how soon they can expect results. While chlorhexidine rinses and improved brushing techniques can help, professional dental intervention provides the fastest path to healthy gums. Our specialists will assess your condition, remove plaque buildup, and guide you through preventative measures to ensure your gums remain healthy long-term. Don't wait until gingivitis progresses—early treatment means simpler solutions.
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease, characterised by red, swollen gums that may bleed when brushing or flossing. At London Dental Specialists, we offer comprehensive gingivitis treatment including professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, personalised oral hygiene instructions, and ongoing preventative care. Our specialists will assess your condition and create a tailored treatment plan to reverse gingivitis before it progresses to more serious periodontal disease.
The fastest way to cure gingivitis is through a combination of professional dental cleaning at London Dental Specialists and improved home oral hygiene. With proper treatment, most patients see significant improvement within 10-14 days. Complete reversal typically occurs within 2-3 weeks when following our recommended care plan. Since gingivitis hasn't yet caused bone loss, it's completely reversible with timely and appropriate treatment.
At London Dental Specialists, we offer several effective treatments for gingivitis:
Yes, home care is essential for treating gingivitis. London Dental Specialists recommends these home remedies to complement professional treatment:
However, home treatment alone isn't sufficient for established gingivitis – professional care is necessary for complete reversal.
For gingivitis treatment, our specialists may recommend:
The exact medications will depend on your specific condition, medical history, and the severity of your gingivitis.
For effective gingivitis treatment, we typically recommend an initial professional cleaning followed by a review appointment 2-3 weeks later to assess improvement. Once the condition is under control, regular maintenance visits every 3-6 months are advised to prevent recurrence. Patients with risk factors or a history of gum disease may require more frequent visits. Our specialists will create a personalised schedule based on your specific needs.
If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more serious form of gum disease. Unlike gingivitis, periodontitis causes irreversible damage including bone loss, gum recession, tooth mobility, and eventually tooth loss. It's also associated with systemic health issues including heart disease, diabetes complications, and respiratory problems. Early intervention at London Dental Specialists can prevent these serious complications and preserve your oral health.
To prevent gingivitis recurrence after treatment at London Dental Specialists:
With proper care and regular professional maintenance, most patients can maintain healthy gums long-term.
