  • Gingivitis is an extremely common condition that causes bleeding gums, swelling or inflamed gums, and often painful gum tissue. What most people don't know about Gingivitis is that it is actually one of the early stages of a much more serious disease called Periodontitis, otherwise known as gum disease.
    2 Different Kinds of Gingivitis:
    1. Plaque induced Gingivitis is the most common and is caused by lack of oral hygiene and proper home care.
    2. Non-plaque induced Gingivitis can be viral, systemic, or caused by local factors such as chemicals.
    Bleeding gums can be an early sign of Periodontitis which is a very serious condition that can lead to bone loss in your jaw as well as potential tooth loss if not taken care of quickly.
    If the Gingivitis is causing your painful and inflamed gums, the good news is it can be stopped by taking good care of your teeth and gums at home! Proper brushing and flossing techniques are critical for improving the health of your gum tissue.

    You mentioned taking a sample of the plaque and determining whether the bacteria is pathological. Very interesting - I was not aware bacteria testing could be done. So, maybe in a future release could you say how that testing is done (outside lab?) and how you treat if the test results are negative ... for those of us who try very hard to maintain proper care yet have ongoing problems.

    Along with flossing, brush your entire your mouth, not just your teeth. Brushyour gums, your tongue (go as far back as you can and don't forget to brush underneath as well), the roof of your mouth and inner cheeks. You want to hit every nook and cranny as you can. It's also important to use a tongue scraper to sweep up all those germs that aid gingivitis too.
    I highly recommend using an electric toothbrush to accomplish this. They're far more productive than manual toothbrushes and most are timed, so it lets you know when to change quadrants. Mine cost $30 and has lasted about half a decade now.
    This step is optional, but you can further prevent gingivitis by using an ALCOHOL-FREE (alcohol dries the mouth which bad for the teeth and you don't need to feel the burn to know the germs are being killed) antiseptic mouthwash after brushing. Although it's a little pricey, I really like using Therabreath's healthy gums as my night mouthwash. It's primarily for treating gingivitis, but that means it helps prevent it as well.
    To put things in perspective how effective this is, I skipped seeing my dentist for a year (something I don't recommend, but finding time can be difficult) and the first time I went he told me this is the best he's ever seen my teeth and I've been going to his office for well over a decade.
    To recap:
    1. Floss after every meal.
    2. Brush your entire mouth using an electric toothbrush twice per day.
    3. While not mandatory, it helps to rinse with alcohol-free mouthwash after brushing.

    Some tips from the dentists I've seen over the years that I was previously unaware of:
    *Extremely important to brush last thing at night, before you got to bed (after the last thing you eat) if nothing else.
    *Replace used toothbrushes with new/fresh toothbrushes every three to four months (not six).
    *Avoid toothbrush cross contamination by keeping all toothbrushes from individual family members/roommates separate from each other.
    *Do not store the toothbrushes in an enclosed place because they need to airdry in order to kill bacteria; also throw travel toothbrushes away within a few days.
    *Store toothbrushes away from the toilette and bathtub/shower.
    *Keep 2 toothbrushes per person - one toothbrush to use in the morning and one at night - to make sure they each have 24 hours to dry properly in between uses which kills the bacteria.
    *Also, back teeth, especially wisdom teeth, need extra effort to clean behind them for which a tapered toothbrush head of a smaller size is helpful.
    *Using a saltwater rinse (1 teaspoon table salt to 8oz. of water) after dental hygiene routine helps fight against the acidic environment in your mouth (created by everything from food to even many dental hygiene products).
    *There is one of several brushing techniques that a dentist will recommend for individual mouths and their condition.
    *Carbonated drinks wreak havoc on your teeth, even carbonated water, so be cautious.
    *Dry mouth increases risks of tooth decay and gum disease (chewing gum and mints help mine, but you may need to consult a dentist in case it needs professional treatment).
    Apart from what I've learned from dentists, in my personal experience with gingivitis, I've found that dipping my wet toothbrush in a bit of baking soda before brushing (10 strokes each tooth, one to two times per day, in a wet mouth for comfort) helps reduce tartar buildup and inflammation (I follow up with a 0.05 fluoride rinse afterwards - it is not a mouthwash, it is simply a fluoride rinse without alcohol, as to not strip the mouth anymore).
    I've noticed that addressing my stomach and sinus issues also help my oral health.
    I also replace sugar (in coffee, tea, and wherever possible) with xylitol, as well as separately swishing with 2g xylitol dissolved in my mouth for 5 minutes (3 times per day) in between mealtimes, after my oral hygiene routine, and without snacking, especially last thing at night after my salt water rinse to help kill the bacteria that forms while we sleep.
    Good luck everybody!

      Hygienist here, usually samples in general practitioners office are taken when none of the regular at home methods are working. In a specialist office they may take samples a lot more often. And yes I can definitely tell if someone has gingivitis right away as soon as they are in my chair. 'Deep Cleaning' is done to someone who has a lot of calculus buildup. If you go every 3-6 months, there shouldn't be enough for a deep cleaning.

I did an x-ray & there is a little bone loss around that tooth...! Also, there is no bleeding in gums or swelling but yeah I feel sensitivity in my lower jaw gums & front lower teeth...! Doctors response is not positive which is disappointing & which makes me traumatized...!

    I went and had a cleaning done recently, and two weeks later I’ve been having abnormal bleeding. I think something happened when I got the cleaning, because I’ve never had these issues that I am now trying to correct.

    I brush and floss regularly. My routine: brush all 3 sides of each tooth then start over (brushing twice), brush my gums twice, brush my gum line twice, brush my inside cheeks twice, brush my tongue all the way back to where my esophagus turns downward twice, *brushing my tongue in the back caused gagging, not vomiting, until I was used to it* From what I learned in microbiology class, anaerobes in your mouth, especially the back of your mouth, cause bad breath (other things do too), when you brush the back of your tongue it destroys the anerobic bacteria hence no bad breath. I have had my routine for 25+ years with only 8 cavities. I have a 'sweet tooth'. 😁
    My 4 children are in their 20's and they have never had a cavity. It takes a good 5 - 6 minutes from start to finish. But, it is well worth it!
    *I hope this helps someone. Please do your own research about caring for your teeth. If I am wrong about anything in my comment, it is unintended.

    Very simple. 5 minutes of remedy after brushing in the morning everyday.
    1 1 spoon of turmeric powder, add enough mustard oil and make a paste in a bowl.
    2. add 2 drops of neem oil
    3. add 1 drop of oregano oil
    4. 1 drop of cinnamon oil
    5. add Himalayan salt
    6. add 2 drops of basil oil
    7. add 2 drops of peppermint oil
    8. add 1 drop of tea tree oil
    9. add 2 drop of coriander oil.
    10. add 1 drop of clove oil
    Ok paste is ready, You can make this paste ready for 3/or 6 months too and keep it in a glass Jar.
    Key is Mustard oil and turmeric, never ever will spoil.
    Apply on gums for 3 minutes, massage the gums. and then salvia is mixed with the paste as you massage your gums, so next 2 minutes swish and spit it.
    You are all set, never ever will bleed again. Never will go to the Dentist again.
    Matter of fact your GUMS will start growing back, Myself is a living example.
    IF your gums are really really bad,
    A.> Hydrogen peroxide 1.5% bottle, get from medical store, cost few rupees, 30 seconds swishing.
    B.> above method 5 minutes.
    so now total 5.5 minutes.

The rest of my teeth are doing fine but the bottom teeth are sensitive and three of them have this weird looking thin white tissue above the gum. I'm seriously worried because I'm still in my early teens and I want to find a solution to this problem. Any help or advice is appreciated, thank you.

I give 12 hrs. To air-dry to remove germs that reinfect. I use regular Crest, Listerine and finish with ACT anticavity. No rinsing in between. Then I check my oral pH to check acidity level. If acidic I balance it with xylitol and stay off acidic foods
