Gingivitis is an inflammatory response of the gums characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding due to bacterial plaque. While bone loss has not yet occurred, it is a critical warning stage that, if untreated, evolves into irreversible periodontitis.
Treatment Process:
Inflammation Scoring: The bleeding index and plaque density are measured to determine the extent of the inflammation.
Mechanical Cleaning (Scaling): The primary triggers of inflammation—tartar and soft plaque—are gently removed using ultrasonic tools.
Biofilm Elimination: The bacterial biofilm layer on the tooth surface is completely cleared with specialized polishing brushes and pastes.
Antiseptic Support: If necessary, medical-grade antiseptic mouthwashes are prescribed to reduce the oral pathogen load.
Motivation and Monitoring: A personalized oral care routine is established, and tissue healing is reviewed after 1-2 weeks.
Benefits and Advantages:
Cessation of Bleeding: Spontaneous bleeding during brushing or eating is rapidly eliminated.
Reversible Health: With early intervention, gum tissue returns to its healthy state without any permanent structural or bone damage.
Prevention of Malodor: Oral malodor (halitosis) originating from inflamed tissues is eradicated, ensuring fresh breath.
Systemic Relief: Prevents localized gum infection from increasing the overall systemic inflammatory burden on the body.
