Gingivitis?

Question

Does anyone know of an easy way to get rid of gingivits?

Answer 1

Brush after every meal. That's not usually possible, but there is little excuse for not doing it every morning when you wake up and then again before you go to bed. Also, chew Trident sugar free gum. This will remove food residue which can prevent your gums from healing.

&&&&&&&& Cool Mint Listerine.
It's not as intense as some of the other flavors but it works well. If it's too intense for you - mix it with 50/50 water and listerine. Change the concentration until you can take it straight. Swish in your mouth for 45 seconds or as long as you can.

Answer 2

Self-Care at Home
The best home care for gingivitis is prevention.

Regular dental visits to remove plaque build-up are necessary to combat gingivitis.
Once a dentist removes plaque, regular brushing and flossing will minimize plaque formation. Even with good dental hygiene, plaque will begin to accumulate again.

Medical Treatment
Removing the source of the infection is primarily how simple gingivitis is treated.

By brushing teeth regularly with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste approved by dentists, plaque build-up can be kept to a minimum.
Flossing is another means of removing plaque in between teeth and other areas hard to reach.
Regular check-ups with a dentist are also important. A dentist is able to remove plaque that is too dense to be removed by a toothbrush or dental floss.
Severe gingivitis may require antibiotics and consultation with a physician. Antibiotics are medications used to help the body's immune system fight bacterial infection and have been shown to reduce plaque. By reducing plaque, bacteria can be kept to a level manageable by the human immune system. Taking antibiotics is not without risks and should only be done after consultation with a dentist or doctor.

Answer 3

See your dentist before gingivitis escalates into the more serious gum condition, called periodontal disease which can travel throughout the bloodstream and adversely affect your heart. It can also erode the gum tissue and cause tooth loss. Gingivitis can be easily treated with antibiotics before it becomes serious. Your dentist will also show you the proper way to brush your teeth without irritating the gums, and instruct you to use a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Answer 4

The best way is to get your case evaluated by a periodontist, you can prevent gingivitis but its not likely you can cure it yourself. Periodontist has an arsenal of tools to get rid of the infection, once cured you can prevent recurrence by proper brushing, flossing and tongue cleaning routine, its estimated that up to 60% of all N. Americans have some form of gum infection, low level gum disease stresses the immune system and has been linked to many more serious diseases.

Answer 5

regular brushing and flossing and using antiseptic rinse (like Listerine). The flossing (as much as we all hate doing it) is crutial in keeping your gums healthy. About 90%+ of people have gingivitis to a certain extent, they just don't know it. The flossing 3X/day min. will get rid of it, but there is no miracle cure.

Answer 6

Floss often between your teeth to get rid of the plaque buildup. Also, those little plastic dental pics are useful. Brush often. Clean your tongue, too. There are tongue cleaners you can use. Put a capful of hydrogen peroxide into a half cup of water to use to swish around your mouth.
Also use warm salt water to rinse your mouth.

Answer 7

Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease (periodontal disease) that causes irritation, redness and swelling (inflammation) of your gums. Because gingivitis can be mild, you may not be aware that you have the condition.
