What causes gingivitis?

Gingivitis means inflammation that occurs in the gums (gingiva). Usually this happens due to plaque – a soft, sticky, colorless layer of bacteria that constantly forms on the surface of teeth and gums. If plaque is not cleaned with a regular toothbrush and flossing, the plaque will produce toxins that will irritate the gum tissue, which ultimately leading to gingivitis. Furthermore, if this condition is tolerated, gingivitis may develop into periodontitis, a more severe condition where there is a bone loss supporting the tooth and may eventually cause wobble and tooth loss.

How do I know if I have gingivitis?

Patients with gingivitis will have redness and swelling gums, and often bleed when the patient does a tooth brushing routine. In addition, there is also accumulation of calculus in the neck of the teeth (near the gums), caused by inadequate plaque cleansing. Another feature of gum disease is that the gums are decreased to give the appearance of the elongated teeth. Gum disease can also cause the formation of pockets (pocket) between the teeth and gums, where there is accumulation of plaque and food scraps. Some people may experience bad breath in the mouth. A further feature of gum disease is the occurrence of serious movements or tooth movement, which can affect tooth loss.

What should I do to avoid / deal with gingivitis?

Good oral hygiene is absolute. Adequate cleansing is also very important because when the plaque has hardened and accumulated, or become a calculus, then only the dentist can clean it. Gingivitis treatments involve professional dental care by dentists, and follow-ups performed by patients daily at home.

treatment of gingivitis by the dentist:

• Plaque and calculus are cleansed. This action is known as scaling. Scaling action can cause discomfort in patients, especially if the accumulation of a lot of calculus, or sensitive gums.
• The dentist explains to the patient the importance of oral hygiene, and how to brush teeth effectively, as well as flossing techniques.
• Perform regular follow-up to the patient, with cleaning action if necessary.
• Repairing the troubled teeth so that good oral hygiene can be created. Some teeth problems, such as crowns or bridges that are not good, can cause operators to have difficulty clearing plaques appropriately.

What can patients do at home:

• Brushing teeth at least 2x every day
• Use floss at least 1x each day
• Routinely rinsed with antiseptic mouthwash.
