Gum disease is one of the most common and widespread dental problems. It is not only unpleasant but also a very insidious illness, as it causes no symptoms or pain for a long time.<\/p>\n
However, it triggers processes in the background that later result in very serious conditions. Few people know that due to gum inflammation, gum disease, i.e. periodontal disease, can develop in the long term, which can even lead to tooth loss.<\/p>\n
A skilled dentist can fortunately recognise the problem early. Therefore, it is recommended to visit at least once every six months for a general check-up, and if a problem has arisen, then\u00a0Dental hygiene treatments also available at NaturaDent<\/a>\u00a0They can help with regeneration.<\/p>\n What causes gingivitis and what are its symptoms? In this article, we will explore the topic in more detail, focusing specifically on the treatment and prevention of the disease.<\/p>\n Numerous factors can be behind gum disease. Below we have compiled the most common causes that can contribute to its appearance.<\/p>\n The most common cause of gingivitis is undoubtedly poor oral hygiene. If someone doesn't brush their teeth at all, or not regularly and thoroughly enough, this can lead to a proliferation of bacteria in the mouth.<\/p>\n Every time we eat, a thin layer of film, called dental plaque, forms on our teeth. This contains a wide range of pathogens - both beneficial and harmful.<\/p>\n If oral hygiene is inadequate, bad bacteria will proliferate, which will have a destructive effect on the teeth, but can also damage the surrounding tissues.<\/p>\n Thickened plaque will eventually harden and solidify into tartar, which cannot be removed by simple brushing or other methods at home.<\/p>\n Tartar is not just an aesthetic problem. Its uneven surface can easily harbour bacteria and other pathogens that can further irritate the gums, causing uncomfortable inflammation of associated tissues in addition to tooth decay.<\/p>\n The removal of tartar that has formed is a dental hygienist's task in every case, but it is worth paying attention to prevention, which can be achieved through regular brushing and interdental brushes.<\/p>\n It is common to suffer from regular gingivitis despite good oral hygiene. This is due to bad habits such as smoking, regular alcohol consumption or excessive coffee and tea consumption.<\/p>\n However, smoking is a major contributor, not only limiting the body's self-healing mechanisms, but also negatively affecting the circulation of tissues in the oral cavity.<\/p>\n For this reason, cigarette smoking often causes gingivitis, which is usually only mildly inflamed, but in the long term is enough to cause bone destruction and periodontal disease.<\/p>\n Within the human body, everything is interconnected, so hormonal changes can also cause gum inflammation in many cases. Especially in women's lives, there are several periods when the hormonal balance is almost completely turned upside down.<\/p>\n These can include pregnancy or the menopause, but to a lesser extent also menstruation. These conditions increase the risk of developing gingivitis, although it is not a certainty that every pregnant or menopausal woman will develop it.<\/p>\n However, research shows that hormonal changes upset the natural bacterial flora of the oral cavity, which calls for increased oral hygiene and more regular dental check-ups<\/p>\n Inadequate nutrition is also one of the problems that can cause\u00a0gingivitis<\/a>t. If you eat an unhealthy diet, eat little fibre, protein and are deficient in certain minerals and vitamins, sooner or later your teeth will show it.<\/p>\n When it comes to preventing gingivitis, vitamin C and calcium, in particular, play a prominent role, so it is worth paying attention to at least these values if we suffer from gingivitis.<\/p>\n The fact that teeth straightening is not just an aesthetic issue is also well demonstrated by the fact that gingivitis can also develop more easily due to misaligned teeth.<\/p>\n This is because, for example, crowded teeth are difficult to clean, with certain points inaccessible with a normal toothbrush. This leads to an increased risk of tooth decay and tartar build-up, which is the first step on the road to gingivitis.<\/p>\n If orthodontic treatment is not an option - even though it could help to solve the problem permanently - it is worth having a professional dental hygienist clean your teeth every 3-6 months to prevent the disease.<\/p>\n Last but not least, genetic predisposition must also be taken into account when talking about the causes of gingivitis.<\/p>\n For example, hereditary diseases such as a weak immune system can negatively affect the health of the oral cavity, which has nothing to prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria.<\/p>\n In addition, we also have to take into account the heredity of gum disease itself. If several close relatives in the family have suffered from this problem, it is always a risk factor, which means that increased attention to prevention is essential.<\/p>\n As we have written above, gingivitis is a very insidious disease, as it has no symptoms, especially in its early stages.<\/p>\n Because of this, the presence of inflammation may not be felt for a long time, and only a thorough dental check-up will reveal it.<\/p>\n That said, there are of course some symptoms that may appear early on, but their appearance is always a sign of gingivitis. These are:<\/p>\n Although a subtle change, it causes an even bigger problem that gum inflammation can have very serious complications.<\/p>\n Inflammation can spread from the gums and invade the periodontal tissues, and even attack the bone structure of the teeth. This condition is called periodontal disease and requires much more attention.<\/p>\n In these cases, there is typically already a large amount of tartar deposition - often under the gums - while the gums themselves can soften and recede, forming larger gaps between the teeth.<\/p>\n This is accompanied by an increasingly intense proliferation of harmful bacteria, which increases the chance of developing bad breath.<\/p>\n The biggest problem is that in the final stage of the process, the inflammation weakens the bone tissue, causing the tooth to lose its grip and move, and in the absence of treatment, to fall out.<\/p>\n Gingivitis is always treated in a dental surgery. If recognised in time, it can be very treatable, easily stopped and, under optimal conditions, full recovery can be expected.<\/p>\n The first step in treatment is always the removal of tartar. This is because it eliminates the most serious risk factor, which facilitates the settlement of bacteria. In more severe cases, tartar removal may require multiple appointments and the use of antibacterial mouthwash.<\/p>\n The key to successful treatment is that the patient's oral hygiene is impeccable. This often requires comprehensive dental hygiene advice on correct brushing, as well as the use of dental floss and interdental brushes.<\/p>\n Regular removal of plaque is very important to prevent tartar from resettling, which can not only delay healing but also lead to a recurrence of inflammation.<\/p>\n It is important that treatment for gingivitis begins as soon as possible, as this can significantly speed up the healing process and prevent the development of serious periodontal disease.<\/p>\n It should also be highlighted that home treatment of gingivitis is not recommended. If it cannot be prevented, the use of antiseptic mouthwashes after diagnosis can be a good alternative, however, dental treatment is unavoidable in order to eliminate the cause, which is typically tartar build-up.<\/p>\n Hungary has many periodontal clinics available; however, in the field of laser gingivitis treatment, only Naturadent Laser Dentistry applies an innovative procedure developed by experts from the internationally recognised RWTH Aachen University in Germany. This knowledge was brought to Hungary by Dr. M\u00e1rta F\u00fcl\u00f6p Papp MSc. MSc. MSc.<\/p>\n Our two-phase package for the treatment of gingivitis, combined with innovative laser technology, is unique in periodontology not only because it helps our patients avoid bone loss and excessive antibiotic use.<\/p>\n Biolase diode laser pocket disinfection, professional high-performance Er,Cr:YSGG laser curettage, extensive oral microflora examination, and individual\u00a0our professional oral hygiene treatments<\/a>\u00a0thanks to several patients whose teeth and health other dental practices had given up on, or who were already suffering from cardiovascular complaints due to inflammation caused by periodontal disease, we were able to \u201esave their lives\u201d.<\/p>\n Now that we know that gingivitis cannot be treated at home, but its development can be prevented, it's time to talk a little about prevention to conclude.<\/p>\n The best remedy for gingivitis is proper oral hygiene. If regular and thorough tooth brushing is part of our daily routine, then we have taken a huge step towards preventing this unpleasant disease.<\/p>\n Inflammation is typically caused by bacteria settling on the teeth, which can be exacerbated by tartar. Regular brushing is the most effective way to prevent this.<\/p>\n Thoroughness, however, consists of truly paying attention to every single interdental space and carefully cleaning the gumline as well, where the teeth and gums meet.<\/p>\n We can achieve much more effective results if, alongside the right toothbrush, we also get accessories such as dental floss or interdental brushes.<\/p>\n If thorough tooth brushing is supplemented with regular dental check-ups \u2013 at least once every six months \u2013 and, if necessary, with tartar removal by a dental hygienist, then the chance of gum inflammation developing in the oral cavity is very minimal.<\/p>\n The question may arise as to what the chances are of restoring the gums' aesthetic appeal, alongside saving teeth and restoring health, in cases of advanced gingivitis. In this area too, we offer our guests uncompromising solutions.<\/p>\n At the Naturadent Laser Dentistry in V\u00e1ci utca, the\u00a0Open curettage<\/a>, alongside the recession surgery and the flap pouch surgery, the most modern, tunnel-technique implemented\u00a0Lip augmentation and thickening<\/a>\u00a0is also possible.
