What are Gingivitis Treatment?

Gingivitis treatment typically involves professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, followed by improved home oral hygiene practices including brushing twice daily with a soft toothbrush, daily flossing, and using an antiseptic mouthwash containing ingredients like chlorhexidine gluconate. A dentist may recommend more frequent professional cleanings, antibiotics in severe cases, and addressing contributing factors such as smoking or diabetes. Most cases of gingivitis can be completely reversed with proper treatment and consistent oral care, preventing progression to more serious periodontal disease that could lead to tooth loss, though advanced cases may require deeper cleaning procedures below the gumline or surgical intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is gingivitis and how can London Dental Specialists help treat it?


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.



How quickly can gingivitis be cured with professional treatment?


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.



What treatments do London Dental Specialists offer for gingivitis?


At London Dental Specialists, we offer several effective treatments for gingivitis:



  • Professional dental cleaning (scaling and polishing)

  • Antimicrobial mouth rinses containing chlorhexidine gluconate

  • Personalised oral hygiene instruction

  • Advanced cleaning techniques for difficult-to-reach areas

  • Follow-up appointments to monitor improvement

  • Preventative care plans to avoid recurrence



Can I treat gingivitis at home between dental appointments?


Yes, home care is essential for treating gingivitis. London Dental Specialists recommends these home remedies to complement professional treatment:



  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  • Daily flossing to remove plaque between teeth

  • Rinsing with saltwater (1/2 teaspoon salt in warm water)

  • Using an antimicrobial mouthwash as prescribed

  • Applying a baking soda paste (mix 1 teaspoon with warm water) to reduce inflammation

  • Maintaining a healthy diet low in sugary foods and drinks


However, home treatment alone isn't sufficient for established gingivitis – professional care is necessary for complete reversal.



What medications might London Dental Specialists recommend for gingivitis?


For gingivitis treatment, our specialists may recommend:



  • Chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash (prescription strength) to reduce bacteria and inflammation

  • Antimicrobial rinses containing cetylpyridinium chloride

  • Professional-grade oral hygiene products not available over the counter

  • Specific toothpastes formulated for gum health


The exact medications will depend on your specific condition, medical history, and the severity of your gingivitis.



How often should I visit London Dental Specialists for gingivitis treatment?


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.



What happens if gingivitis is left untreated?


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.



How can I prevent gingivitis from returning after treatment?


To prevent gingivitis recurrence after treatment at London Dental Specialists:



  1. Maintain excellent oral hygiene with twice-daily brushing and daily flossing

  2. Use an antimicrobial or fluoride mouthwash as recommended

  3. Attend all scheduled maintenance appointments

  4. Follow any specific oral hygiene instructions provided by our team

  5. Avoid tobacco products which significantly increase risk

  6. Manage conditions that may contribute to gingivitis, such as diabetes

  7. Maintain a balanced diet low in sugary foods and drinks

  8. Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months


With proper care and regular professional maintenance, most patients can maintain healthy gums long-term.
