Gingivitis Treatment

Gingivitis is the most common inflammation of the gums and represents the first stage of periodontal disease. It is caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque around the teeth and gums and, if not treated promptly, can progress to periodontitis, with serious consequences for oral health.

At Dr. Athanasios Nikitopoulos’ dental clinic, a modern, comprehensive, and painless approach is applied for the treatment of gingivitis, aiming to eliminate inflammation, restore gum health, and prevent recurrence.

Symptoms indicating gingivitis

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding during brushing or eating
  • Bad breath (unpleasant odor)
  • Sensitivity or mobility of the teeth
  • Gum recession (teeth appear “longer”)

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to see a dentist immediately.

How is gingivitis treated?

Treatment always begins with a clinical examination and assessment of the severity of the inflammation.
The following steps are then carried out:

  1. Professional teeth cleaning (scaling) – removal of dental plaque and tartar above and below the gum line.
  2. Root planing (deep cleaning) – in more advanced cases, to completely remove bacteria from periodontal pockets.
  3. Oral hygiene instructions – training the patient in proper brushing techniques, flossing, and use of mouthwash.
  4. Re-evaluation after 2–3 weeks to assess improvement and maintain the results.

In some cases, supplementary laser therapy may be applied for deeper cleaning and faster healing.
