Yes, gingivitis can be corrected. See your dentist and professional dental hygienist to work together on a treatment plan. This may include a combination of procedures in the dental office, prescribed medication to apply to the area, possible nutritional suggestions, and a guided at home regiment. You will also need to return to follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process. Consistent and efficient bushing and flossing, along with good overall health, can be the best method of preventing gingivitis from reoccurring.
That's a great question. Luckily gingivitis can be reversed. Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gingiva, or gums. There are many causes of gingivitis and some examples include poor oral hygiene, mouth breathing and even pregnancy. It is important to see your dental provider at least every 6 months for an exam and preventative cleanings to combat gingivitis.
